Studying at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s launched a career for Dawn. Now she카지노 게임 컬렉션s helping young scholars do the same.
When Dawn Bowen was studying for her PhD at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s in the 1990s, there were a number of ways to pay for her schooling. Bowen, PhD카지노 게임 컬렉션98, was fortunate to earn a prestigious Fulbright Scholarship, which paid for her tuition. For other graduate students, becoming a teaching assistant is a common way to earn money.
But funding for your research? That was a challenge.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Graduate students pay their way through school by being teaching assistants. It covers your costs. But then when you have to do the research for your degree, where do you get your money from?카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Bowen, whose geography PhD thesis explored Saskatchewan카지노 게임 컬렉션s back-to-the-land movement in the 1930s that encouraged farmers to settle in the northern parts of the province. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Going to Saskatchewan for a summer and Ottawa (for research) was a big deal.(My fellow grad students and I) had funding while we were students, but when it came to research, it was hard.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Funding opportunities for research are limited. There are funds, but it is not unusual for grad students to ask family for financial support. Bowen was fortunate that her husband was a full-time professor, so they had money to cover costs.
To help the next generation of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s graduate students, Bowen 카지노 게임 컬렉션 now a full-time geography professor at the 카지노게임사이트 of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Va. 카지노 게임 컬렉션 established the Bowen Graduate Fellowship in Human Geography, which provides $2,500 annually to help offset research expenses for humanities and social science graduate students.
Bowen wanted to give back to the university that helped launch her academic career.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I loved being at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Bowen says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I loved the people, and I loved the city. It was an incredible opportunity for me to grow and develop into the person I became.카지노 게임 컬렉션
She credits her academic adviser, Peter Goheen, for pushing her and giving her great advice. In her second year, she was ready to start her PhD thesis proposal. She had already written papers and presented at conferences, and it was Goheen who encouraged her to get those papers published in academic journals.
카지노 게임 컬렉션By the time I finished my PhD, I think I had three publications, which 카지노 게임 컬렉션 in the late 1990s 카지노 게임 컬렉션 was pretty unusual and it put me a step ahead of my cohort being a relatively new PhD but already having several publications,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Bowen said.
It wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션t until she met with a representative from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Gift Planning, that Bowen realized that smaller annual gifts over time can create a larger fund that can make the difference in the life of a student.
Now she is thrilled to have a fellowship that is going to help many generations of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s students. She has also named Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s as a future beneficiary of her Living Trust, which will contribute to her fellowship in the future.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I am incredibly fortunate that I can give back,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Bowen said. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I gave an incremental amount (every year). Now I have a fund that is going to last far beyond my lifetime and help students reach their goals.카지노 게임 컬렉션
