Ten students from six different Fine Arts departments will be working one-on-one this summer with a faculty member of their choosing as part of the Concordia Undergraduate Student Research Awards (CUSRA) program.

The CUSRA program provides funding to students in the fine arts, social sciences, humanities, engineering and computer science, business disciplines, and natural and health sciences. The goal of the awards is to stimulate interest in research, participatory research, or research-creation work that will complement undergraduate coursework and enhance preparation for graduate studies or research-related careers. This year's research outcomes will be showcased at an on-campus event in the fall.
