Research like a Kohawk...

"Conducting research allowed me to apply the skills I have learned in my courses and gain valuable real-world experience. Research helped me discover the career path I want to pursue and will continue to give me an advantage as I work toward that career."
Spellman Research Fund
Unique to Coe College is the Spellman Research Fund. Each year, eight to ten business, economics and accounting majors are selected as Spellman Research Associates. They are invited to spend the summer at Coe, working on a research project with a department faculty member. Research Associates receive a stipend, housing allowance and a free course credit for the summer. Throughout the summer, they meet with their faculty supervisors and each other in an attempt to learn more about the topics they're studying and about the process of conducting academic research.
