UARTS FEAST projects invite students to engage with North Campus faculty around their research and creative production. Participants will:
- Gain research and creative skills, improve collaborative and team interactions, and engage with meaningful hands-on learning opportunities
- Be a contributing member of a dynamic and ongoing interdisciplinary student team
- Register for and receive curriculum credit every participating semester
- Be able to continue with the project or team over multiple semesters (with faculty permission)
- Develop relationships with faculty and students from outside their school and disciplinary major
- Students on FEAST projects may register for UARTS 260, 360, 460, or 560 as appropriate for their enrollment needs and receive 2 credits (additional credit options with faculty approval) for their work.
FAQs
Are there general Info Sessions, Project Fairs, Open Labs, or Application Help Sessions I could attend to learn more before applying?
Yes – all these things are posted on the FEAST program landing page on the website HERE as they are put on the schedule, so check back periodically for new additions!
How many semesters are required?
FEAST 260, 360, 460, and 560 is a single 4-credit course spread over two semesters. Students accepted to participate on a FEAST team must sign a contract agreeing to join the project team for 2 semesters (Winter 2025/Fall 2025). Students may also continue on the teams with professor approval after their initial two semester commitment.
What should I need to prepare for my FEAST application?
Not a lot of prep work – you are guided through most of the steps as you fill out the application. You will need to have a current resume to upload (pdf), so have that ready; you will need to prepare and submit short written personal statements for the teams (pdf) for which you are applying (a couple paragraphs, things to cover are listed in the application and below), and you will sign up to do a short online SparkHire video for each of the projects you select as well.
How will you let me know I have been placed on a team?
By email – sometime starting Nov 2 and continuing through early December (later notifications are typically for students who come off the waitlist).
How many students typically participate on each team?
Student teams range in size based on the needs of the project. Typically teams range between 5-7 students, though successful teams have been as small as 3 and as large as 17 (the latter broke into sub-teams, so again 5-7 each).
