Hello PSU students,

Just a quick reminder that our Boren Awards Essay Writing Workshop is happening this Friday from 12:30–1:45 PM (in person and zoom options). If you’re planning to apply or even just exploring whether Boren might be a good fit, this session will really help you clarify your goals, strengthen your essays, and get expert guidance. We’ll cover what selection committees look for, how to explain your language choice and national security relevance, and how to craft strong, compelling statements.
You’ll find the flyer attached in this email. Register here: https://forms.gle/U9pyGgbSBuLdhWAz8

We hope to see you there!
