Information & Resources
Brown's Dean of the College helps undergraduates and recent alums with all aspects of the research and fellowship application process--from finding the opportunities that match their interests and goals, to working on drafts of application essays, to practicing for interviews with faculty committees.
Dean Linda Dunleavy hosts fellowship information sessions, offers specialized coaching on fellowship essays, and provides direct advising about all parts of the fellowship process. Brainstorming and writing workshops help students develop their fellowship applications, and lectures and panels with fellowship recipients and faculty members help students learn about the work that takes place on a fellowship. The Dean of the College office also conducts mock interviews for students who become finalists in national competitions for fellowships requiring interviews.
