DURF Peer Review Workshops Oct 14 and Oct 22

In advance of each DURF application deadline, the Dean’s office will hold a series of discipline-specific Peer Review Workshops aimed to help students craft a more competitive DURF proposal. Each workshop will be co-facilitated by the Assistant Dean for Students and a former DURF recipient who will provide insight and advice based on their own successful experience. Participants just need to bring a working draft of their DURF proposal and be ready to provide and receive helpful comments and suggestions.

All Workshops will be held from 6–7PM:

  • STEM: Wednesday, October 14 (12 Waverly Pl., Rm. L113); Thursday, October 22 (Waverly Building, Rm. 566A)
