The Departments of English and Romance and Classical Studies at Michigan State University are delighted to announce the 6th Annual MUSE Scholars Workshop, which will be held this fall in East Lansing, from October 14-17th. The MUSE Scholars Program is intended for any prospective graduate students interested in issues of access and equal opportunity in academia, and concerned about the challenges of first-generation students and low-income students in higher education. It aims to introduce students to a robust culture of mentoring essential for a rewarding graduate school experience, and a thriving life in academia. All prospective graduate students in English, Spanish, or related fields who are interested in these questions are welcome to apply! The all-expenses paid workshop will allow students to learn more about the departments of English and Romance and Classical Studies in the College of Arts and Letters. Students will visit graduate classes, meet faculty and graduate students, receive feedback on their application materials for graduate school, and present their research to faculty. Thanks to the generous support of the MSU Graduate School and the College of Arts and Letters, the MUSE workshops cover the travel, lodging, and incidental expenses for up to eight prospective students.
