Interviewing finalists from Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Building 6
Chipman Room (6-104) and Conference Room (6-103)
77 Massachusetts Avenue
Cambridge, MA
This panel will convene at 8:30 a.m.
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 Boston finalist dinner host is Megan Wells-Jamieson. Please contact her at wellsjamieson@gmail.com to RSVP.
