1. Fellowship, Internship, and Research Experiences (FIRe)
The CRC coordinator/advisor in this area offers advising on fellowship, internship and research applications, provides insight on fellowships, internships and research, and makes information about fellowships, internships, and research more visible to under-represented student populations.
2. Independent Study Project (ISP), Group Independent Study Project (GISP), Academic Internship (AIs) and Global Independent Study Project (GLISP)
A hallmark of the Open Curriculum, undergraduates can create their own courses. Coordinators in this area guide, review, and manage the course creating process.
3. Independent Concentrations (IC)
Also a result of the Open Curriculum, students can design their own concentration. Staffers in this area advise about the application process, probe and develop undergraduates' ideas for their intended concentration, and serve as leaders for the IC DUG.
4 & 5. Leavetaking and Gap Year advising
Undergraduates can take a personal leave of absence without hassle. Staff in this area guide students in the process of taking a leave from inquiry to declaration, and they also play a role on building community amongst returned leave-takers.
6. Matched Advising Program for Sophomores (MAPS)
At the end of sophomore year, students are required to declare a concentration. While first years are assigned a Meiklejohn peer advisor to help them navigate their first year, sophomores are not despite the common challenges that sophomores may still face. MAPS pairs second year students to a junior or senior in their concentration of interest for guidance.
7 & 8. Departmental Undergraduate Groups (DUGs) and Theories In Action (TiA)
DUGs seek to bridge the gap between students and faculty in a given concentration/department, and create a sense of community. TiA is an event where seniors are able to share and present their culminating projects (capstone or ongoing extracurricular involvement) and/or research with other seniors and the larger Brown community.
