| Aaron Mueller |
Aaron Mueller, a UK Libraries Learning Lab intern in the Special Collections
Research Center, was just selected as one of the twelve new University of
Kentucky Gaines Fellows. Aaron is a sophomore computer science and linguistics major from
Louisville. He will be a Gaines Fellow for the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018
academic years. Gaines Fellows are academically excellent students with a strong interest in the humanities.
All Gaines Fellows are required to take a specially designed seminar
in the humanities during both semesters of their junior year. In addition, each
junior fellow must complete a jury project, planning and optionally carrying
out an improvement for a local community. In the senior year, each fellow must
complete a major independent study project of six to 15 credit hours. At the
conclusion of this project, a thesis paper must be submitted and defended in
front of a thesis committee of three university faculty members and the
director of the Gaines Center.
In addition to the course requirements, Gaines Fellows enjoy a rich
program of field trips, lectures, and other activities designed to widen and
deepen their educational experience.
Congratulations, Aaron.
