The Pennoni Honors College would like to invite you to another Shakespeare Read-Aloud for all interested students, staff, faculty, parents, and friends of the Pennoni Honors College. Hosted by outgoing Dean and Shakespeare scholar, Dr. Paula Marantz Cohen, we will read Richard II and discuss the play as we go along. Richard II is a historical play that traces the downfall of King Richard II, whose ineffective and capricious rule led to his overthrow. After banishing his cousin Bolingbroke, the king seizes his estate to fund a war, sparking a rebellion. Bolingbroke returns from exile, gains widespread support, and forces Richard to abdicate the throne. The play explores themes of kingship, legitimacy, and the consequences of misrule. No grades, no pressure, no judgment. Join us on Zoom to read or just to listen. Can't make it each week? No problem! Drop in as you are able. Wednesdays starting August 21, 4-5 p.m. EST.

Nerd Night @ Drexel U is a quarterly event sponsored by Undergraduate Research & Enrichment Programs. This event features three informal talks by Drexel students about their research or other topics of interest. In between talks there are rounds of trivia. Come nerd out with us!

This session will introduce fellowships that provide language training opportunities, both in the US and abroad: the Critical Language Scholarships and the Boren Awards. Eligibility is limited to US citizens. Available languages include Arabic, Mandarin, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Turkish, Russian, Hindi and more. We will discuss the details of each award, the application process, and tips for submitting a strong application.

You may have heard about fellowships, scholarships, and awards that require you to apply for nomination, like the Goldwater, Truman, or Udall Scholarships. These are competitive opportunities for which Drexel is only permitted to put forward a limited number of nominees for the national competition pool, which means we have to conduct an internal application process to choose students to nominate. If you are hoping to apply and want to put your best foot forward, attend this workshop for insight on what makes a strong application for nomination, tips on how to approach the writing process, and a peek behind the curtain at how Drexel's nomination processes work.

This workshop will be of greatest interest to students applying to the Goldwater, Truman, Udall, Gaither, or RFSP programs this year.

This session will discuss in brief some of the major federally-funded individual fellowships supporting doctoral-level graduate study and research, outside of the well-known NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP). These awards provide one or more years of funding in the form of a scholarship and stipend. Awards discussed will include fellowships funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, and other major awards. We will also discuss how to research other awards available through the federal government. In general, fellowships funded by the United States government restrict application to U.S. Citizens, Nationals, or Permanent Residents. First and second year doctoral students, as well as those planning to start graduate school in 2025, are especially encouraged to attend.
