Join us for small bites and conversation Friday, August 11, 2023, 11:30 am – 1:00 pm in the GVSU Mary Idema Pew Library Multipurpose Room 030.

CSCE is presenting to new faculty in the morning, and we would be pleased for you to attend a get-together afterward.

John H. Logie Fellowship

The John H. Logie Fellows Program offers students at GVSU an exceptional opportunity to experience and contribute to the operations of the City of Grand Rapids. Logie Fellows work in individual consultation with representatives from the City of Grand Rapids to tailor the fellowship experience to their skills and areas of interest. Key topic areas for the City in 2023-24 include housing and homelessness, sustainability and climate change mitigation, community master planning, community engagement, public safety, and infrastructure project planning. The application cycle is now open and will close October 13, 2023.

Seidman Undergraduate Research Assistant (S-URA) Program

The S-URA grant provides undergraduate students with majors and/or minors in the Seidman College of Business the experience of engaging in active research and assisting Seidman faculty on research projects. By engaging in mentored research and scholarship, students have the potential to experience the transformative nature of research, as well as develop academic and professional skills. A goal of the program is to encourage Seidman students to pursue additional opportunities in independent, original research.

Submit your proposal online. Proposals for fall positions are due August 18, 2023. Proposals for winter positions are due November 17, 2023.
