This panel focused on writing strong research and personal statements for graduate fellowships such as the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). The panel featured both faculty and graduate students. Faculty panelists Dr. Sally Chambers and Dr. T. Michael Anderson have served as GRFP reviewers and brought insight into how applications are evaluated. Graduate student panelists Julianna Harden (Cornell University), Cynthia Webster (University of Connecticut), and Savanna Brown (University of Connecticut) have each been awarded the GRFP within the last three years and they shared their strategies and experiences navigating the application process. While the panel drew on expertise specific to the GRFP, discussion also highlighted broadly applicable approaches for writing effective research and personal statements, making this event valuable for anyone preparing fellowship or grant applications. Panelists answered questions, discussed common pitfalls, and provided guidance on how to communicate your research ideas, career goals, and personal story in a compelling way. This event was open to all interested participants, regardless of discipline or funding target, and is especially recommended for students preparing applications this fall.
