LTC Lunch: From Recruitment to Recommendations: Faculty Roles in the Student Fellowships Process (Jan. 12)

This session will provide an overview of Carleton processes and relevant information for faculty members who may recruit students, advise them during the preparation of  their materials, and/or prepare recommendations to support their applications. Presenters will discuss the differences between fellowship and graduate school application processes and letters, address common questions and concerns about how best to help students and assess their qualifications for particular awards, and describe the support and resources available to faculty members through the Office of Student Fellowships. We hope to solicit feedback and recommendations about what else we can do to support faculty involvement. Presenters: Marynel Ryan Van Zee, Director of Student Fellowships; Nancy Cho, Professor of English and Chair of the Student Fellowships Committee.  Handouts from the presentation are available, here.
