CELEBRATING UCR'S OUTSTANDING STUDENTS

Applications are now being accepted for the 2024-2025 Graduating Senior Awards!   Each year the office of the AVC/Dean of Students coordinates the selection and recognition of outstanding seniors for two special Graduating Senior Awards. These awards, the Thomas Broadbent Outstanding Senior Award and the Loda Mae Davis Outstanding Senior Award, recognize extraordinary accomplishments and contributions by students both in and out of the classroom.

 The Dean Loda Mae Davis Commencement Award: Established in 1964 by the Prytanean Society, a women's honorary society, in memory of U's First Dean of Women, Loda Mae Davis. It is presented to a graduating student for outstanding participation in campus life and leadership in student organizations. A minimum GPA of 3.2 is required. An individual plaque and a $200 award will be given to the student.

It is presented to a graduating male-identified undergraduate student for outstanding participation in co-curricular campus activities and leadership in student organizations.

Dear Highlanders,

Happy Week 10, and I hope your exam preparations are going well. I am spotlighting a scholarship that you might be interested in applying for. See below for more information, and direct all inquiries to fellowships at bbqplus.org<mailto:fellowships at bbqplus.org>.

APPLY NOW FOR THE BBQ+ ACADEMIC FELLOWSHIP!<https://www.bbqplus.org/fellowship/apply>
 The Fellowship space is designed for underrepresented scholars, broadly and intersectionally defined. It is open to:

  1.  College students (including students in community colleges):

     *   Early college students (Sophomores and Juniors) interested in developing independent research skills in the humanities.
     *   Seniors and recent graduates interested in developing their research and/or applying to graduate programs.

  1.  Master's students and recent Master's degree holders (3 years post-degree).
  2.  Ph.D., Ed.D., and other doctoral students
  3.  Recent postdoctoral scholars (up to 8 years post-degree)

Please note: The fellowship is open to undocumented and international applicants.

The fellowship offers:
Research stipend: Academic fellows are offered a research stipend, which is based on their academic level cohort:

  *    Master's students/Early PhD students: $2000
  *   Advanced PhD students: $5000

Academic fellows can also apply to reimburse other research or professionalization expenses. If you have another source of funding and can waive the research stipend, please indicate so in your application.
Mentorship and professionalization: Each cohort of fellows works closely with a mentor to develop their research project and prepare for a professional career. Fellows also have access to the broader network of the Center and the Senior Fellows.
Community: The Center aims to foster a tightly-knit and supportive intergenerational and interdisciplinary community of scholars around shared academic interests.
