The Libby & Douglass Cater Society of Junior Fellows, established in 1990, provides special opportunities for academically outstanding students. Its purpose is to foster intellectual exchange beyond the classroom and to encourage creative and independent projects beyond particular course requirements. The Society funds independent projects designed by its membership and meets regularly throughout the year to exchange student works-in-progress. Students become eligible for membership at the end of their sophomore year. Applications to the Society are made in January/February each year. The Libby & Douglass Cater Society of Junior Fellows is directed by Aaron Lampman, Professor of Anthropology.
