Seven students have been selected to receive a Community-based Research (CBR) SURF Fellowship, jointly sponsored by the APPLES Service-Learning Program and the Office for Undergraduate Research, with support from the ACCIAC.

These students will be working collaboratively with community members and a faculty mentor on their research project this summer. CBR-SURF projects address a community need and, ultimately promote social action and the common good. Below are the 2011 CBR-SURF Fellows, their projects and faculty mentors:
