Virtual Goldwater Essay Writing Workshop for STEM Undergraduates - the Internal Deadline (Nov. 20) is approaching!

Monday, November 11, 2024
12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Online
Faculty, Students

Congratulations on your progress on your Goldwater essays! The internal GVSU Deadline of November 20th is coming close! Are you in good contact with your research mentor and other STEM faculty advisors?

The Goldwater Scholarship Program, one of the oldest and most prestigious national scholarships in the natural sciences, engineering and mathematics in the United States, seeks to identify and support college sophomores and juniors who show exceptional promise of becoming this Nation’s next generation of research leaders in these fields. Most Goldwater Scholars plan to pursue PhDs in their chosen field.

In this workshop we will review essay prompts and reflect upon content, especially of the important short-essay answers. Remember STARR as a model for brief, engaging anecdotes that help to capture your commitment to and enthusiasm for scientific research: S - the situation (the lab, the field station, the particular research team or moment); T - the task (what you had to do); A - the action you took; R - the response (what happened as a result of your action); R - your reflection on this (what you learned from it, what you know now that you didn't know before about the research and about yourself).
