The Newberry Library Undergraduate Seminar allows undergraduates to combine an intensive classroom experience with an independent research project. The six-credit seminar will meet Tuesday and Thursday form 1-4 p.m. from 9 Jaunary 2007 to 3 May 2007. Students and faculty will explore first-hand the Newberry's matchless collections of materials on the history and culture of Europe and the Americas. Students will be expected to spend significant additional time working in the Newberry's collections. With this in mind, please answer the following question in 250-500 words:

Why do you want to participate in the Newberry Library Undergraduate Seminar? Describe your research experiences. What kinds of research papers have you written, and how long have they been? What grade did you receive on those essays? Have you had research experience outside of class, e.g., at work? Please name two Loyola professors who can attest to your research skills.

Submit TWO (2) copies of this form and send TWO (2) copies of your most recent official Loyola University transcript to:

Professor Lewis Erenberg
