Seven RIT students have received a Fulbright Canada Mitacs Global Link fellowship to assist with research in Canada during the summer of 2023. This program provides exceptional undergraduate students from universities in the United States with the opportunity to be part of a 10 to 12-week research internship under the supervision of Canadian university faculty members in various academic disciplines, from science, engineering, and mathematics to the humanities and social sciences.

Working with a team of researchers in Canada will bring him one step closer to his goal of earning a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. “A clinical Ph.D. is inherently a research degree, so not only is research experience a prerequisite to admission, but you also need to have strong research skills to succeed, both of which will be furthered during my time with Fulbright Canada. Additionally, it is important for psychologists to be culturally competent, something I believe will be furthered by living abroad,” says Finn. |
