Events Calendar

The Obermann Center for Advanced studies is proud to be a member of the 16-university Midwest consortium Humanities Without Walls, which is funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. On Thursday, August 27, HWW will kick off their 2020-21 career diversity programming. In this virtual roundtable, you’ll hear from three HWW fellowship alumni about their experiences post-fellowship and how the Predoctoral Career Diversity Summer Workshop informed their career exploration and development.

This session will also launch the 2021 fellowship application season, with a Q&A to answer your questions about the fellowship application process and the switch to a virtual workshop in 2021.

Registration is required. Register at https://illinois.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYucumtpz4oGtHiRghSN7FP5dxaEm... meeting link will be shared with registrants by email on the morning of August 27.
