Extreme Academics
Extreme Academics is a two-quarter program that is being launched Fall quarter 2009 as a series of Friday workshops. Its purpose is to help DU students develop skills and discover opportunities to make them competitive for prestigious graduate programs and domestic and international post-graduate fellowships.
The Fall schedule will include panel discussions with current and former students who've been awarded valuable fellowships; an opportunities fair with representatives from programs across campus; and skill sessions on project discovery and development. During Winter quarter students will formulate their plan and learn how to execute it, including drafting, workshopping and presenting their proposals; and participating in mock interviews.
All students interested in learning about post-graduate academic opportunities and how to take steps toward achieving them are welcome to participate.
Our first meeting introducing the program was held on October 2. This Friday, October 9, will include lunch and conversation with a panel of current and former students who have been awarded prestigious scholarships that have launched them toward scholarly careers. For more information about Friday's panel and the rest of our Friday events, please see the Schedule.
