FELLOWS
Undergraduate Humanities Forum
Penn undergraduate students who join the Wolf Humanities Center as Fellows of the Undergraduate Humanities Forum (UHF) conduct humanities research on the Center's annual topic and become part of a group of interdisciplinary scholars who meet regularly to share and workshop their projects, pursue cultural activities of common interest, and occasionally meet in special receptions with the Wolf Humanities Center's distinguished guest speakers. The year's program culminates in a spring research conference.
