Diversity in higher education has taken center stage across college campuses, and this topic is especially important from a grant and fellowship writing perspective. Not only will winning prestigious fellowships afford a wider range of students to pursue advanced research and degrees, fellowships and grants themselves are explicitly asking applicants to write (sometimes at length) about how their diversity will be an asset to their future teaching and research. This is a highly sensitive topic, but one that needs to be addressed directly. Growing comfortable describing your commitment to diversity is essential as you learn to discuss your efforts to meet the needs of diverse student populations, academic disciplines, as well as the funding agencies that support them, including the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Ford Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), among many others.
This workshop will be facilitated by Carolyn Ureña and Dara Walker, GradFund Fellowship Advisors and recipients of Ford Foundation Dissertation Fellowships. GradFund Fellowship Advisors have extensive experience working with students across a variety of disciplines, and this workshop will be of interest to all students who will one day need to write about diversity in fellowship applications and beyond.
Join us for our second Diversity Workshop of the term on Thursday, March 30, 2017 from 1:30pm to 3:30pm in the George H. Cook Room at the Cook Student Center.
