We are delighted to announce a new event in the program of the Furst Forum. On November 5, Thursday 2-3pm, in Donovan Lounge, Greenlaw, the Furst Form will present an information session on writing applications for fellowships and other graduate funding opportunities.November is the time to begin thinking about pre-dissertation and dissertation research, as many applications for graduate fellowships for the following year are due in December and January.
We all know the struggle of presenting ourselves on paper, often to anonymous groups of people, committees and institutions—an art for which few of us possess a natural talent. This roundtable, lead by Professor Jessica Wolfe, will provide graduate students with valuable, practical guidance that can help us turn a decent application into an outstanding one.
We welcome graduate students in the department of English and Comparative Literature, as well as others who might find such a session helpful.
