In 1996 Robert Manchester �66 established the Manchester
UTRA to enable an undergraduate who has normally taken History
138, Irish Nationalism, and has a strong interest in women�s
rights and a possible career in government, business, politics,
law, social work, teaching, or international business to travel
to Ireland for the summer to work in the National Women�s
Council. (The NRC is an umbrella organization representing
al kinds of women�s issues.) Interested students should request
further information from Dean
Margaret Klawunn (x3-2411) or Professor Timothy
Harris (x3-2627) in the History
Department.
To apply for the Manchester Grant, write an essay in two
to three pages that addresses the following questions:
Why do you wish to go to Ireland?
What knowledge of Ireland do you have from courses or prior
experience?
What experiences or background would you bring to working
in the National Women�s Council?
How might this experience fit into your long-term plans
as you see them now?
Please attach your essay to this form and send it to Dean
Margaret Klawunn, University Hall 205, by March 1.
