MURS Faculty

The following is a list of faculty members at Mercer University who have indicated that they are willing to take a student for the Mercer Undergraduate Research Scholar Training Initiative (MURS). The list is divided by location.

Students who are selected to participate in MURS will receive a $4000 taxable stipend for the 10-week program ($2000 if only participating in one summer session) for working ~40 hours per week with their faculty mentor. Students in MURS on the Macon or Atlanta campuses will also be provided housing in university facilities, although they are not required to stay on campus. Housing is not available in Columbus or Savannah, so these locations will be accessible to students living in those areas.

Any questions about MURS should be directed to Dr. Garland Crawford.
