I made a note to myself to contact my recommenders right when school started in August I wanted to meet with them in person to talk about our summers and then ask them if they would be willing to write me letters. There should also be a person available at the ready to write a back-up recommendation, in case one of the main three recommenders happens to not submit a letter on time, or at all.
IOWA CITY JAZZ FESTIVAL 2018 PROFESSIONAL
One student said that one recommender should know you well personally, one recommender should vouch for your professional experiences, and one should be a “hard-hitter,” which is someone who is highly respected and esteemed in their field. Some tidbits of wisdom they mentioned during the panel included befriending your fellow graduate students because it is unfeasible and foolish to not do so, and to email professors and people for letters of recommendation immediately, even though it was summer and school had not started yet. Some of these students were people of color, and I really appreciated seeing and hearing from POCs, because these were people like me who went on to graduate school. They spoke on their transition from undergraduate to graduate school some went straight through with their schooling whereas others had some time off for employment first. in history, higher education & student affairs, and counseling psychology. These students were pursuing MFAs and Ph.Ds. A few Scholars did go to see the fireworks, even venturing into the neighborhood of Coralville to view the fireworks displays.Īt the “ Grad School Admissions” panel, six graduate students shared their experiences and advice for us. I did not go outside at night to watch the fireworks, but I could hear them from the dorm. Some crowds were huddled all over the lawns on campus with their blankets on the grass.
Plenty of people flooded the streets of downtown Iowa City to enjoy the sizzling, fuzzy heat and hear some music. July 1st – That weekend, there was the Jazz Festival downtown, and fireworks were shooting off at night. This half of the summer felt like it went by much quicker than the first half. When July came around, I was halfway completed with the Summer Research Opportunities Program at The University of Iowa four weeks down, with four more to go! This second month, I finished as much research as I could do, and then the last week was spent wrapping up the program: presenting posters at the annual undergraduate summer research symposium and recognizing all the Scholars for our hard work and contributions.
