The Faculty of Public and Global Affairs sponsors summer undergraduate research internships, which enable students to work on a research project of their choosing in collaboration with a faculty member.
- IPAF 4900 research mentorship opportunity (undergraduate)
IPAF 4900 is a 0.5 credit course that enables you to learn about research by collaborating with a professor on his or her research project
- Dean’s Honour List (undergraduate)
Every year, the Faculty of Public and Global Affairs honours its best students at the Dean’s Honour List reception. The celebration recognizes dedicated, hard-working students who have achieved a GPA of 10.0 or better.
