Hello seniors,

I am happy to inform you of the opportunity to apply for a loan forgiveness award, the Miller Family Foundation Prize. It is awarded to two graduating seniors who have accepted full-time positions of one year’s duration with either an educational or nonprofit organization.

To be eligible, you must have need-based loans through Wesleyan and your new first-year salary cannot exceed $30,000.

The deadline is Friday, May 27 by 4:30pm at the CRC.

For details, visit: http://www.wesleyan.edu/crc/students/grants/fellowships/miller.html

If you have any questions, contact Jim Kubat at: jkubat@wesleyan.edu.

On Friday, April 15, the Sixth Annual Science Theses Celebration will feature seniors and BA/MA students from the Natural
Science & Mathematics departments presenting posters on their research to the Wesleyan community. Refreshments will be provided!

Where: Exley Science Center lobby

When: Friday, April 15, from 1:30-3:00pm

There will be three loan exit presentations:

Wednesday, April 20, 2011: 12:30 – 1:00 pm

Thursday, April 21, 2011: 12:30 – 1:00 pm

Tuesday, April 26, 2011: 4:00 – 5:00 pm

All three sessions will be held in Exley Science Center: Room 150.

These informational sessions are designed to provide you with repayment information for federal and institutional loans you may have borrowed while at Wesleyan.  Information on debt management, budget management, and default prevention, will also be presented at each session.  Representatives from the offices of Student Accounts and Financial Aid will be available to address your questions.

At this session, you will also receive your exit interview packet.  The packet contains a list of all the loans you have borrowed while at Wesleyan and instructions for completing the mandatory Stafford/Direct, Perkins and Wesleyan Long Term Loan online exit interviews.

Please contact faloaninfo@wesleyan.edu or joutlaw@wesleyan.edu if you have any questions.

We are excited to announce the launch of our brand new Writing Workshop Blog. The Writing Workshop Blog is a resource for student writers and students who write. Affiliated with the Writing Workshop, where students can meet one-on-one with a trained peer tutors, this blog is meant to serve as a space to discuss, promote, and improve our writing.

Topics range from the academic to the personal, the practical to the fantastical. With student interviews, advice, events, and suggestions, the blog is updated daily and will provide a hub for discussions and information about writing at Wesleyan.

The blog is entirely student-written and student-run.

We encourage you to all check it out!

If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, please email us at writingworks@wesleyan.edu.

Happy reading!

Take Back the Night is an annual march for survivors of sexual violence that began in the 1970s. Today at Wesleyan we carry on this work through our own march. The march will include two speak out circles and a candle lighting ceremony and will be followed by debriefing session in Usdan 110. We invite you to give survivors a voice and to show as a community that we will not tolerate sexual violence on our campus.

Where: Olin Steps
When: Thursday, April 7th, 7 P.M.

From the Olin Steps, we will be marching to the CFA Courtyard and then to Andrus Field where survivors can share their stories. Please feel free to join us late. We hope we can count on you to join us for this important event!
