Upcoming events this semester

    • Come ask an Office of Fellowships student worker about fellowship opportunities or grab a handout with an overview of the fellowships supported by the office
  • Fellowship General Info Session, Wednesday, April 5, 2023 at 12-1pm -- with pizza!
    • Come learn what fellowships are all about: from international exchange, to graduate study, to independent projects. Join Assistant Director for Fellowships Erica Kowsz for pizza and conversation! All class years welcome; it’s never to early to learn about the opportunities open to you!
  • Opportunities in Asia Alumni Panel, Monday, April 17, 2023 at 9am in Fisk 201 (or on Zoom)
    • Many Wesleyan students go on to prestigious and fulfilling opportunities in Asia after Wesleyan, including fellowships. Come learn from a panel of alumni from diverse backgrounds and achievements who've done just that. (Several of them will be zooming in from the region, hence the early event hour; don't worry, we'll have coffee!)
