Emerging Scholar Talks:
Through the Emerging Scholar Talk (EST) competition, CWiC honors students with both strong research projects and superior speaking abilities by providing those students with a public forum in which to talk about their academic work. All undergraduates are invited to apply. The CWiC-EST editorial board will select students to include in the series and work with those students to hone their presentations. Because student speakers communicate their work to a broad audience, the series offers participants and audiences a chance to share ideas across disciplinary bounds. Currently, one scholar is selected each spring.
Applications are no longer being accepted for 2007-08.
For information about the Emerging Scholar Talks, contact CWiC at cwic@sas.upenn.edu.
