New for Fall 2011: The Rackham Blog
Posted Monday, July 18th, 2011
To create an online presence for current students to communicate with the broader graduate school community, the Rackham Graduate School will be launching a Rackham Blog in Fall 2011. Student bloggers will be able to share their experiences in graduate school with a wide audience, including prospective students, current students, alumni/donors, faculty and staff, and others interested in the graduate school community.
Students interested in applying to become a blogger must complete an application. The application process involves basic demographic information, short written responses, and several short sample blogs. The application deadline is Wednesday, July 27, 2011. Applications will be reviewed by Rackham staff and finalists will be notified in early August.
Student bloggers must be at least second year students and commit to writing a short blog entry each month from September through April. Continuing students may continue writing through the summer months. Rackham is interested in representing a broad range of student experiences in graduate school, so students from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply to serve as bloggers.
To apply to become a blogger, please complete the Rackham Blog application. For questions about the application process or the project as a whole, please contact Natalie Bartolacci at nplosky@umich.edu.
