Reflecting on the Past and Planning for the Future
Category: Student Life
As the academic year comes to a close and Reunions and Graduation approach at Princeton University, it's time to look ahead to the summer. For many students, this means exploring research opportunities. The blog's team of student correspondents have shared experiences, insights, tips, and strategies related to academic work and research that could prove invaluable for those embarking on summer projects.
Melissa Parnagian, a content strategist and the new Chief Correspondent, will take the lead in overseeing editorial planning and coordinating guest contributions for the blog in the upcoming academic season. Parnagian will be responsible for ensuring the blog continues to provide informative and engaging content for students seeking guidance on academic and research pursuits.
The skills learned at Princeton, such as critical thinking and problem-solving, are not confined to the classroom. These skills are useful in various fields like NGO work, tutoring, startups, and theater direction. Furthermore, the research skills learned at Princeton have implications for summer opportunities beyond explicit "research."
Many of the correspondents, along with other students, will continue research over the summer in various settings. Some of the correspondents' posts detail challenges and successes in labs or research projects, providing real-world examples of how these skills can be applied.
For those who may have been rejected from PICS (Princeton in Latin America) or IIP (Princeton's International Internship Program), the blog offers advice on what to do next. The article, titled "A Guide to Summer Research Opportunities," can be found in the "Lab Research" section.
As the academic year comes to a close, the blog is also welcoming new correspondents starting in the fall. If you're interested in joining the team and sharing your experiences, insights, tips, and strategies related to academic work and research, be sure to apply.
In the meantime, keep an eye on the blog for more articles offering advice and insights into summer research opportunities and other aspects of student life at Princeton. The university is currently undertaking elaborate, temporary projects in preparation for Reunions and Graduation, so there's plenty to look forward to.
