Writing a personal statement is a standard part of all applications for Fulbright awards, other major grants and fellowships, and graduate school. But finding the right story line and voice is often hard. What exactly is a personal statement? What does it need to do? And what does a good one look like?
If an application is on your horizon, make time to attend a workshop on writing personal statements. This 90-minute session will help you understand what a personal statement is (and is not) and provide examples to guide and inspire.
Thursday, July 9, 12 noon to 1:30 pm, on Zoom (email me for the link)
I can offer additional options if these times don’t work for your schedule — just contact me to discuss.

Hello, my name is ShaShee Yang, and I am a Clinical Psychology Doctoral Student at Augsburg University. I am conducting a research study about the internalization of Model Minority Myth stereotypes and their impacts on depressive and anxiety symptoms in Asian-American college students. I would love for you to be a part of the study! The study will consist of a brief demographic survey and three standardized questionnaires asking questions about internalization of the Model Minority Myth, current depressive symptoms, and current anxiety symptoms. The entire survey should take approximately 15 to 30 minutes to complete. To thank you for your participation, upon completing the surveys, you will have the option to enter your information in a raffle for one of two $25 Caribou Coffee gift cards.
