Welcome!

Welcome to the Connecticut College chapter of the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) Program.

Established in 1988, the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) is committed to supporting demographic transformation in higher education and to promoting the value of multivocality in the humanities and related disciplines. Its name honors Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, the noted African American educator, statesman, minister, and former president of Morehouse College. Through a pipeline process that emphasizes mentoring, research support, programming, and student cohort building, Mellon partners with member colleges and universities to identify and support students of great promise and to help them become scholars and professionals of the highest distinction.

Connecticut College joined the MMUF family in 2008 and continues to support a thriving program. One of the reasons for our successful partnership with the Mellon Foundation is the commitment we share to advancing the common good through education. MMUF students are among the best and brightest in the nation and are sure to make powerful contributions to their fields of study as well as local and global communities.
