The RHC Research Assistants Program creates opportunities for qualified Stuart and Nancy Rabinowitz Honors College students to serve as paid research assistants to faculty across different fields and programs at Hofstra University. Student learning is amplified when undergraduates can apply the knowledge they have learned in the classroom to solving real-life problems in professional research settings. The program began in the spring 2017 semester, with 13 research assistantships awarded from a pool of 41 applicants. This past fall, we awarded 21 research assistantships across a myriad of disciplines.
