Dr. Pollard acts as a general liaison to help in arranging summer research. The main contact person for health-career internships is Dr. Fairbanks. However, in both cases it is very important for you to talk to other biology professors, and to seek out opportunities on your own. The search for a suitable summer internship or research position must be an active one on your part.
Please fill in the form found outside Dr. Pollard's office (232). This form is intended to help us find suitable summer research opportunities for students who want them. If you hope to get a Furman Advantage Research Fellowship to work with a biology professor, you must complete this form. The form should be returned to Dr. Pollard's mailbox in the biology office. Do not assume that you just fill in this form and then sit back and wait. Turning in the form is only the first step.
