I enjoyed getting to work hands-on with campus history through the college archives! I got to work with alumni papers dating back to the college's founding and assist researchers as they worked on varied and interesting topics.
What I wish was different
I can't imagine anything that I would change about this experience.
Advice
I would suggest that students not shy away from the opportunity to work on campus during the summer---it's a great way to explore the campus and the opportunities that might not be available to you during the school year due to busy schedules!

What I liked
I absolutely loved it! I got to spend my summer in Italy researching my favorite topic with funding. It was an incredible experience, and I highly recommend the fellowship program.
What I wish was different
Maybe some underlining training for the faculty advisors. A lot of us were getting vastly different feedback, and some of our advisors were unintentionally pushing us away from the goals of the program.
Advice
Don't be afraid to apply! I almost didn't, but I'm so glad I did! Also, it's a great way to fund thesis research and study abroad experiences
