The KSTF Teaching Fellowship program http://www.kstf.org/recruit2012/
A great teacher empowers students to change their world for the better. Are you committed to becoming that teacher?
If you are, a Teaching Fellowship from the Knowles Science Teaching Foundation (KSTF) could change your world. KSTF knows that teaching is a complex, intellectually challenging profession requiring specialized learning, access to experts and resources, and deep practice. The Teaching Fellowship meets the needs of high school mathematics and science teachers from the onset of the credentialing process through the pivotal early years of their careers.
KSTF supports passionate, dedicated teachers to thrive in the profession, lead from the classroom and become change agents in education. The five-year fellowship is one of the most generous and comprehensive in the nation, providing tuition assistance, monthly stipends, cohesive and comprehensive professional development, and access to a close, collaborative community of like-minded colleagues.
"KSTF has been crucial to my growth as a teacher and a teacher leader."
Jason Gipson-Nahman, Physics Teacher, KSTF Alumnus
KSTF awards Teaching Fellowships in the three disciplinary areas of biology, mathematics and physical sciences to individuals who demonstrate exceptional content knowledge in the area they intend to teach, a commitment to teaching high school in U.S. schools, professional ability, and the potential for leadership.
If you are passionate about teaching high school math and science and dedicated to challenging and supporting all students, the KSTF Teaching Fellowship could help you succeed in ways you've never imagined.
"KSTF is helping me to push students to understand things more deeply, to become risk takers and to solve problems."
Alexandra Fuentes, Biology Teacher, 2008 KSTF Biology Teaching Fellow

Project experience for an EE undergrad with Rhapsody
My name is Nathan Rozendaal (UW Alum) and I work for Rhapsody (the music streaming subscription service). One of my responsibilities is to oversee our new innovation program. As part of this program we hold a "hackathon"(or as we call them "RhapAThons") for our company roughly once per quarter. In these events the company devotes 48 hours to working on new and innovative projects. Our next event is early February.
The reason I'm writing you is that we have a project that involves an innovative in-home integration of Rhapsody via a new wifi-connected audio device that we are conceptualizing that requires some heavy EE expertise/involvement. I thought it could be potentially an interesting project for a UW EE undergrad to be involved with. There is no available compensation but it could be a great experience for a student and give them an opportunity to work on a device that has the potential of reaching hundreds of thousands of users.

National Student Exchange!
I am writing to invite you to consider the National Student Exchange
(NSE). NSE gives you an opportunity to experience a different area
with its unique cultural and academic opportunities. Since NSE's
beginning in 1968, more than 96,000 students have had the opportunity
to participate in NSE, giving them the opportunity to:
Many returning UW students describe NSE as a life-changing experience
which has made them more independent, self-confident and resourceful;
expanded their risk-taking capabilities; and helped them better define
their academic and career objectives. Students who have been on
exchange return to UW with lasting friendships formed with students
from all over the country.
Prior to exchange, you will develop a written agreement to ensure that
the work you satisfactorily complete on exchange will count toward
your degree program here. NSE operates with tuition reciprocity
(tuition paid to our campus or at the in-state rates of the host
campus) and federal financial aid portability. Your nomination for
participation will be done by NSE @ UW, with selection by the host
campus being completed in March. With placement rates of 97 percent,
our students can generally find a location to meet both their academic
and personal objectives.
Think about it. Visit http://www.nse.org. Talk with your parents,
adviser, and professors about this exciting opportunity. Then, plan to
attend one of our information sessions where we will explain the
details of the program, provide brochures, outline application
procedures, and answer all of your questions.
The session schedule is:
Jan. 3rd, 1:30
Jan. 6th, 12:30
