Dear Graduate Students,

The EHE Office of Research held our first graduate student proposal development workgroup meeting on February 2nd. We decided that we would meet regularly as a group and review applications for grants/fellowships. We will learn by doing! We sent out a doodle poll with some available dates and times, and thanks to those of you who responded, we have scheduled our next meeting for Monday, February 19th at 10AM. The meeting will take place in PAES Room 143.

Please RSVP – space is limited to 35 students.

I have also attached the document listing some funding options and resources for your research that was sent out with the previous email.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Rebecca Chacko at chacko.9@osu.edu.

Thank you,
Rebecca

Film Screening: Most Likely to Succeed

Tuesday April 25th
6:00-9:00pm
100 Campbell Hall

Join us for a screening of this award-winning film and an evening of dialogue about what matters most for students today.

Most Likely to Succeed’s worldwide campaign to re-imagine education. The acclaimed film offers an inspiring look at what students and teachers are capable of- if we have the vision and courage to transform our schools. Directed by acclaimed documentarian Greg Whiteley, the film has been an official selection of two dozen of the world’s top film festivals, including Sundance, Tribeca and AFI DOCS. It’s been featured at leading conferences on education, including ASU/GSV, SxSWedu, Harvard/GoldmanSachs, and NewSchools Venture Fund. Audience members call it the most compelling film ever done on the topic of school. In the past year, more than 2,300 communities have booked a screening of Most Likely to Succeed.

The purpose of this event is to foster meaningful discussion among educators, administrators, parents, and students about how current obstacles can be overcome and steps toward change can be taken on a local level. Born out of these conversations is a community-wide commitment to moving forward; transformational initiatives are undertaken and real change is ignited. This event is open to the public. Please visit mltsfilm.org for more information about the film and movement.
