As a start-up faculty member at Olin College (2001-2015), Stolk created numerous project-based and interdisciplinary courses and programs that invite students to take control of their learning, grapple with complex systems, engage with each other and the world in new ways, and emerge as confident, agile, self-directed learners. Stolk’s research aims to understand how students experience different classroom settings, particularly with regard to how individuals express situ- ational motivations and develop their own beliefs about learning.

Students can work with experienced faculty members oncutting-edge research projects in various fields through these programs. This enhances theiracademic learning and prepares them for future careers in research and related fields.
