Seattle, Washington
Interviewing finalists from Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington.
King County
Chinook Building
401 Fifth Avenue
Seattle, WA 98104
This panel will convene at 8:30 a.m. Please bring photo identification to enter the building and wait in the lobby until your escort arrives to direct you to the reception.
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 Seattle finalist dinner host is Michele Buckley. Please contact her at buckleymb@gmail.com to RSVP.
