Details

A personal statement is an important part of your application to graduate school, fellowships, summer research experiences or other applications. The personal statement is the best way for an admissions committee to get an idea of who you are! In this workshop, Linda Blockus will help undergraduate students practice ‘telling your story’, seamlessly weave in your accomplishments, focus on the audience, and get LOTS of feedback.

Join the Zoom meeting from a Mizzou-authenticated account. Participation in this presentation will be applied to the S.T.A.R. recognition if attendees 1) are present for at least 40 minutes of the presentation and 2) join breakout room discussions.
