Brooklyn College Students Win Major Fellowships

Not to boast excessively, our Brooklyn College philosophy majors have now recently won Rhodes (Lisette Nieves), Beinecke (Nick Pitsirikos), and Truman (Ryan Merola) highly selective advanced studies scholarships/fellowships. Two of these three are now among the 17 advisors to the StudentConcerns list, available to assist students with planning present research projects or future careers in such areas as law, medicine, journalism, community development, youth services, governmental agencies, ngo's, etc. Shall invite Ryan to join this list as an advisor in his own special areas of interest:

This list can be accessed by a Google check: "StudentConcerns" or directly at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/StudentConcerns/

I use this list primarily to inform students in my classes of coming class or other interesting events. But any with such concerns are welcomed to join and contribute. Many former students remain on the list after they have left my classes. I recommend this device to faculty wherever as a useful tool to supplement their own teaching. It is very easy to set up a (free) Yahoo group list: http://groups.yahoo.com/

As interests have warranted, I have set up additional Yahoo lists noted in my signature. Others welcomed there. They are unmoderated and so sometimes wander off topic, but nevertheless include interesting contributors from around the globe. One can check them out and new members are welcome. I only exclude spammers and those who excessively violate netiquette.
