Hosted by journalist Yessenia Funes, this special event will inspire seasoned and newly curious activists with inspiring conversations from a diverse group of speakers, including community organizer Nikkita Oliver, author Bonnie Tsui, climate activist Jamie Henn and surfer and ocean advocate Greg Long among others.

Are you interested in applying for internships, scholarships, or research experiences this year? Perhaps you are interested in the National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates program, or are a first or second year student interested in the NOAA Hollings Scholarship?
If so, you are highly encouraged to attend two upcoming workshops that will teach you all about two of the most important aspects of putting together a competitive application for opportunities in the marine and aquatic sciences: Securing letters of recommendation, and writing compelling statements. 

The Career & Internship Center and the UW Alumni Association are proud to co-host a series of Alumni Panels throughout the 2023-24 academic year. Next week we’re excited to offer the following session, where students will be able to hear tips, experiences, insights, and recommendations from 2-4 UW alumni. The panel discussion will start as a moderated panel, and then move into an open Q&A with the audience. 

We are hosting an information session for the NOAA Hollings Scholarship on Wednesday, November 15th at 4:30pm in FSH 207.
Freshmen and Sophomores are encouraged to attend. Sophomores already intending to apply for the Hollings this round may benefit from this information session, though we will have a short series of more targeted workshops to help these students with applications starting later this month. 

Dear Students & Alumni,
 
I’m emailing to share scholarship opportunities and upcoming events that might interest you and to remind you OMSFA advisors are available to support your application process!  
 
SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES 
A FEW OPPS TO CONSIDER…
Qacagʷac Grant 2023-2024

Do you have a conference you would like to attend? A workshop, A research trip? Do you need an editor? 

November 9 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Different disciplines, cultures, and individuals have distinct approaches to gathering information, interpreting it, and forming beliefs. This begs the question: “How do we know things and where else should we be looking for answers?”
Don’t miss the UW Honors’ annual Global Challenges/Interdisciplinary Answers conversation, led by dynamic speakers from a variety of backgrounds, considering questions cultivated by students in the University Honors Program.
