Student Opportunities at the Gould Center

The Gould Center is committed to involving students in the humanistic conversation at CMC through the following opportunities. We are open to inquiries from students who are looking for funding for independent humanistic research. We do not generally provide funding for research relating to a class or senior thesis.
