Prospective Holster Scholars Program applicants are invited to an application workshop/writing retreat in advance of the November 14 fall application deadline.

The Holster Scholars Program will provide light refreshments. Program coordinator Dr. Vin Moscardelli and past Holster Scholars will be on hand to answer questions and provide feedback.

This is a “drop in” writing retreat designed to provide a quiet, dedicated space for prospective applicants to make progress on their applications ahead of the November 14 deadline. There will not be a formal program or presentation, nor do you have to stay the entire time.  

Preregistration not required.

Prospective Holster Scholars Program applicants are invited to meet 1:1 with program coordinator Dr. Vin Moscardelli in advance of the November 14 fall application deadline. 

Fifteen-minute in-person OR virtual appointments are available from 9:00-3:00 on Monday 11/11. 

Thirty-minute virtual appointments are available on Tuesday, 11/12 between 10:00-12:00 and again from 1:00-3:00.

Students are strongly encouraged to make an appointment in Nexus - especially those who hope to meet virtually (in Webex).
