Summer Mentoring Program to be held at Penn State on June 23-28, 2019
The Richards Center Emerging Scholars Summer Mentoring Program exposes students to doctoral study in the discipline of history.

Students will participate in a simulated doctoral seminar and attend workshops on a variety of topics, including writing, digital research, and graduate student life.
