Meet Our 2026-27 Undergraduate Scholars

Working alongside Institute faculty and staff, undergraduate scholars contribute substantively to our research projects and outreach efforts while developing skills and perspectives that can inform their future academic and professional pursuits. We are please to welcome our four undergraduate scholars for the 2026-27 academic year and look forward to the contributions they will make to the Institute's work.
