What kind of work is involved in the assistantship?
It is expected that James O. Freedman Presidential Scholars will assist faculty in their research. Students participating in this program are not expected to generate their own independent research projects. The nature of the work and the skills required will vary depending on the project, and faculty mentors should be clear about their expectations prior to the start of the assistantship. The faculty mentor and student should set up a work schedule at the beginning of the term, and this schedule should include weekly or biweekly meetings between the student and advisor.
