Undergraduate Research and Fellowships Mentoring (URFM) have some exciting new events this September! Don't forget about the deadlines that are fast approaching.
Expanded Writing Support
This semester, we are collaborating with Penn State Learning to support students engaging in high-stakes writing. Help us get the word out about our new programming!
Developing Good Writing Habits
Preparing an application, whether it’s for research funding, graduate school, or a fellowship, is not an easy process nor is it something that can be done in one sitting. Intended for all students, we will discuss good writing habits and how to develop a writing routine that works for individual writers. Participants will walk away with an approach to help them achieve their writing goals.
Just Write! Series
This new workshop series will give students dedicated time and space to work on their applications and talk through their writing ideas with the support of their peers, Penn State Learning, and URFM. With deadlines fast approaching in October, we hope to see Fulbright and NSF Graduate Research Fellowship applicants join us for productive virtual writing sessions!
