This month, we're highlighting fellowships (paid opportunities for research, internships, and projects) and our first is Mellon Mays: https://www.whittier.edu/fellowships/mellonmays

Mellon Mays is a great program for students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. It's dedicated to diversifying the faculty of higher ed. Five WC students are chosen every year to explore their interest in college teaching in disciplines of special interest to the Mellon Mays Foundation. Students will receive tuition assistance, summer research opportunities, and academic-year support through faculty mentors at Whittier. They'll also engage with peers at Mellon Mays-sponsored events.

Join a panel of professionals excited to share their lived experiences in the workplace. This will be an empowering space for Black students to learn how to navigate the world, culture and their rights as professionals: https://whittier-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUod-Goqj0rHtRcQUyiTlF41-6N18AO1FFY
