"Teaching three highly motivated students in the [UGS] program proved to be one of the most rewarding and intellectually stimulating experiences as a college professor. I had expected the course to be rewarding, but I did not expect the students to challenge themselves as well as the professor on a daily basis. I enjoyed the challenge of teaching contemporary race relations and social justice in the U.S., and watching the students grapple with complicated ideas and concepts and offer fresh perspectives."

-Dr. Albert Broussard, Faculty Director

"As a [Glasscock Scholar], the program has not only granted me the opportunity to explore my own academic interests, but has introduced me to new schools of thought. I believe that kind of collaborative spirit is what makes research so innovative and nuanced. I am privileged to do humanities research under the guidance of anthropologist Dr. Lemus, and being surrounded by my brilliant peers in my seminar group was what I enjoyed the most."

-Sidney Uy Tesy, Undergraduate Glasscock Scholar

"As an [UGS] Faculty Director, I appreciate the opportunity to work closely with a small group of undergraduates who are serious about their research. I am grateful to have had three intensive weeks in May during the summer session to do what I can to provide them with the research tools and methods that they need to be able to do advanced scholarship."

-Dr. Ira Dworkin, Faculty Director

"Participating as a [UGS] Faculty Director has been an intellectually rewarding experience as our seminar team immersed ourselves in a research problem, pulling together information and datasets that fostered deep exploration and analytical discussions. I am inspired by the research questions that the students have developed and am excited to see where their projects will lead."

-Dr. Heather Thakar, Faculty Director

"I truly enjoyed the research seminar on environmental humanities with Dr. Emre. While introducing our group to how the concept of religion plays into what we are learning, her genuine curiosity to learn more inspired me to ask more questions and immerse myself in the seminar. Dr. Emre's willingness to learn from students made the seminar more collaborative, creating a feeling of responsibility to stay on top of my reading so that I could contribute to the group. Throughout the seminar, Dr. Emre proved that she is on our team by advocating for us and showing interest in us as students."

-Chetana Kuchibhotla, Undergraduate Glasscock Scholar

"Dr. Emre's summer seminar provided me with an avenue to dive deeper into a more humanities look at a topic I've only seen from a biological perspective. It has also sparked meaningful debates and discussions that have shifted perspectives."

-Joseph Dib, Undergraduate Glasscock Scholar
