INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AND CREATIVE WORKS
In many academic programs , students have the opportunity to pursue independent research or other projects under the mentorship of an SU faculty member or an off-campus mentor . These experiences are offered as independent research courses , capstone experiences , work study or other paid positions , and summer opportunities . Through these experiences , you will hone your critical thinking , technical , and communication skills while conducting independent research or creating your own original work within your academic field .
You can even get financial support to pursue your original work in the summer . The Office of Sponsored Programs and Research sponsors a Student Scholarly and Creative Works Summer Grant Program that supports students in pursuing independent work during the summer under the mentorship of an SU faculty member .
