Funding Student Research
The Graduate Research and Scholarly Activity (GRSA) award funds graduate student research projects in all academic disciplines. Your gift to this fund goes directly to graduate students to support their academic endeavors in their field. Student projects are as varied as they are, and can come from any graduate degree program. Previously funded project titles include:
"Under the Soil: Examining the Interactions between Plant Roots, Mycorrhizal Fungi, and Soil Bacteria" - Benjamin Bolcer, Master's in Biology
"Characterization of Glioblastoma Multiforme Cell Types with Chlorotoxin, a Scorpion Venom Protein" - Aaron Mellesmoen, Master's in Clinical Molecular Genetics
"On Detroit: Scenes from the Edge" - Jennifer Quartararo, Master's in English
Advancing Graduate Studies & Research Goals
Financial gifts to the College of Graduate Studies & Research are used in a variety of areas to advance our goals. These could be graduate program development, expanding student access, or supporting research infrastructure to name a few. NMU GS&R is committed to nurturing the humans the future needs, not just professionally, but also personally, morally, and communally. Those, we believe, are the sort of humans we'll need for a better world.
Celebration of Student Scholarship
The Celebration of Student Scholarship is an annual event held on the Northern Michigan University campus to recognize the scholarly activity of undergraduate and graduate students in all disciplines. Students share their scholarly and creative work with the NMU and Marquette communities.
This event is an important opportunity for student scholars to share their work in a way that is accessible to the general public. Our mission is to improve how we communicate about academic topics and ideas while recognizing the hard work done by NMU students under the guidance of faculty. Join us to discover and celebrate student scholarship. Click on the button below for more about the Celebration and examples of past work.
