Atlanta, Georgia
Interviewing finalists from Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
1000 Peachtree Street Northwest
Atlanta, GA 30309
This panel will convene at 8:30 a.m.
Finalists - Please enter the Federal Reserve on the Peachtree St. entrance. You will be escorted to the interview rooms. Please remember that while camera phones are allowed, no photography is permitted inside the Bank.
For the past several years, the Truman Scholars Association (an organization of Truman Scholar alumni) has hosted pre-interview dinners in the interview cities the night prior to the finalist interviews. The dinners are informal, fun, optional events (interview panelists do not attend). Invited to the dinners are incoming Truman Scholar candidates as well as older Truman Scholars from the area. The dinner locations are chosen at relatively inexpensive restaurants close to the venue where the students will be interviewed, and each person attending the dinner covers his or her own meal and transportation expenses.
The Atlanta host is Terri Reuter (terri.reuter@gmail.com). Please contact her to RSVP for the finalist dinner.
