For college students interested in becoming Truman Scholars

Regional Review Panels

March 9, 2012
Washington, DC I

Interviewing finalists from the District of Columbia, Virginia, and West Virginia.

NeighborWorks America Headquarters
Suite 800
1325 G St. NW (closest metro stop is Metro Center on the blue, orange and red lines)
**Please bring a photo ID with you to enter the building.**
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 DC I finalist dinner host is Kimberly Hsu. Please contact her at kimberly.c.hsu@gmail.com to RSVP.
