| Martin Scholars |
|
The Martin Institute inaugurated the Martin Scholar program in 2005 in order to help IS majors be more competitive for post-graduation employment and admission to graduate programs. Students selected as Martin Scholars become paid research interns working on major global issues. They work in groups of three or four on a predetermined topic, under the guidance of both a faculty mentor who is expert in the field and the Institute Director. They take a one credit class during the first six weeks of the Fall semester which focuses on the topic, following which they select a particular research topic that will then engage them for the rest of the academic year. A dedicated office is set aside across from the Martin Institute for use of the Scholars, who hold a minimum of two office hours each week. Each Scholar receives between $500 and $1000 for their work, which culminates in a public presentation of their research. Applications for the forthcoming academic year are available at the beginning of March each Spring.
For 2007-08, two groups of Martin Scholars were selected. Global Health Policy – Faculty Mentor Dr. Sean Quinlan, Department of History
Michael Barker UN Peacekeeping – Faculty Mentor Dr. Bill L. Smith, Martin Institute
Justine Dubbins In 2006-07, two groups were also selected; their project titles are listed next to their names: International Conflict – Faculty Mentor Dr. Lisa Carlson, Department of Political Science
Larkin Brown, “Integrating Immigrants in France” UN Peacekeeping – Faculty Mentor Dr. Bill L. Smith, Martin Institute
David McArtor, “Why Nations Peacekeep” For 2005-06, three Martin Scholars were selected; owing to their similar backgrounds as International Studies majors working on Latin America and Global Resources and Development, they worked on a single integrated project: Protected Area Management – Faculty Mentor Dr. Patrick Wilson, Department of Conservation Soil Science
