Watson Workshop Will Work Wonders

Take heed and attend, if you're interested in applying for a Watson your senior year:

Dear Colleagues,

As you may have heard, we've had an excellent year for Watson fellowships, with three winners this year: [Politics and Government Major] Zorba Leslie, Kendra Loebs, and Leif Rasmuson. These students have wonderful projects and are starting to prepare for an exciting year that begins in Aug.

In the meantime, we continue to prepare for our next round of Watsons. I am writing to ask you to please announce in your classes two Watson workshops I am offering next week for students interested in learning more about the fellowship and application procedures. We will have at least one of this year’s winners on hand to answer questions and share expereinces. Please especially encourage students you think might be potential Watson applicants to attend one of these sessions. Details of the Watson Information Sessions are:

Wednesday, April 11 at 5:00pm in Wyatt 109
OR
Thursday, April at 12 5:00pm in Wyatt 109

Many thanks. If you have any questions about the Watson program or what makes a "potential Watson applicant," please do not hesitate to contact me at pjoshi@ups.edu.
