The PKMS will host a Grant Writing Workshop on Friday, September 7 at 3:30 pm in GC room 5409.

Speakers will give short talks about their own grant writing experience or advice for grad students; there will be a short demonstration of a grant database that is available to GC students; and there will be time for a Q & A after the talks.

Speakers will be:
Professor Anne Stone, Music
Professor Dagmar Herzog, History
Professor Michael Sargent, English
Debra Hillborn, PhD student in Theater

While some aspects of the workshop will be directed toward medievalists, much of the information will be useful for students in any field. All are welcome.
