About the Embark fellowship
Embark is a cross-campus initiative coordinated by the Office of Inclusive Excellence, in collaboration with faculty from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences on the Tempe campus and New College on the West Valley campus.
The fellowship will start the week of Aug. 12 and conclude the week of Nov. 4. This is a hybrid fellowship and students will be meeting remotely and in-person with faculty mentors once every two weeks on Thursday evenings. Students who complete the fellowship and present at SACNAS will receive a $2,500 stipend and have their SACNAS registration covered.
