[Pols-l] Thompson call

[Avdan, Nazli]

Dear colleagues,

I hope this email finds you well. I hope that everyone had a wonderful spring break.  It is that time of the year to send out the Thompson call. I typically send out this call around spring break.

As I'd like to award students the Thompsons early in April to make formal announcements and recognize them during Phi Sigma (ideally), the deadline will be next week, 3/28. If you take a few more days till the end of March, that's fine and I'll update the students but I will email students next Monday.

This will allow me to ask students to apply by approximately the 8th of April, giving them roughly 10 days and I'll make decisions quickly thereafter within one week or thereabouts. I’ll also make these announcements at Phi Sigma, which I’ll be leading this year (April 22nd).

To refresh, the Thompson program is an excellent opportunity for summer research support which also grants graduate students hands-on research experience.
I'm including the official call as a Word document. In the past two years, with the help of the  grad committee, I’d updated and streamlined the document, attached. Faculty members who desire to become Thompson scholarship mentors should draft a proposal with an outline of research goals and output. Please see the attached document for additional details.

Please contact me with any questions about this opportunity.

Best,
Naz
