Building on the model of the <a href=\"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/ursca\/visitor-programs\/collaboratory\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1705\">Mellon Humanities Collaboratory<\/a>, PATHS brings together students from different branches of humanities and social sciences scholarship to work together constructively while pursuing individual projects, each culminating in a research paper and a presentation at the Hopkins Summer Research Symposium and\/or the Leadership Alliance National Symposium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PATHS also includes additional mentoring infrastructure and a more advanced framework for college juniors and seniors who are ready to pursue graduate school. Participants will leave the program with a portfolio of materials for applying to graduate school, an established relationship with a Hopkins faculty mentor in their field, and a cohort of peers who will remain a support network as they enter Ph.D. programs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>URSCA is hosting a series of virtual info sessions on PATHS and the Humanities Collaboratory.
