Tuesday - Scholarships 101 for freshman & sophomores; Thursday - Personal Statement Writing

Scholarships 101: Getting Started in the Search for Scholarships

•                    Tuesday, January 14, 2014, 2:30-3:20, MGH 171

•                    Monday, January 27, 2014, 4:30-5:20, MGH 171

Specifically designed for freshmen or sophomores, this introductory workshop provides students with information to begin the scholarship search and to develop a competitive edge for merit-based scholarships. RSVP to attend at https://expo.uw.edu/expo/rsvp/event/244, though drop-ins are also welcome.

Personal Statement Writing

•                    Thursday, Jan. 16, 2014, 3:30-4:20, MGH 171

•                    Monday, Feb. 3, 2014, 2:30-3:20, MGH 171

The Personal Statement is an important part of an application package. Applying for scholarships, internships, and graduate/professional programs often requires a personal statement or application letter. This type of writing requires you to outline your strengths confidently and concisely, which can be challenging. Personal Statement workshops will provide students with essential information to develop an understanding of not only writing about their interests, eligibility and suitability for applications, but also to learn how their statements provide evidence of their achievements that aren’t reflected in other parts of an application. RSVP to attend at https://expo.uw.edu/expo/rsvp/event/236, though drop-ins are also welcome.

Looking for student programmers

We're looking for students with programming skills (PHP, Python, Ruby and/or Java) to work on open-source health informatics software with the UW’s Clinical Informatics Research Group (CIRG) this quarter (and possibly longer). Requires experience working with Linux systems and databases; health/clinical experience not necessary.

This is a paid gig and a great opportunity to gain experience working with teams on domestic and international clinical and public health informatics projects. Likely opportunities for collaboration on posters and publications. Work includes mobile development with open source tools such as Apache Callback/Cordova, cPRO, and OpenDataKit.
