Are you writing a Senior Essay next year Fnd out about the Senior Essay research process at the first annual Library Senior Essay Forum. This forum, structured as a panel discussion, will feature several senior essay writers talking about their research process. The goal of these forums is to offer insights into how senior essay writers do the following: 1) formulate their research interest and questions; 2) seek help from the library, museums & special collections, faculty and other support units on campus; 3) find resources to support their argument; and 4) carry out the research process to complete the senior essay. The forum will be held twice this spring and we invite you to participate in one or both.
Wednesday April 22
11:00am - 12:00pm
[Political Science - Jessica Stephens | History - Tess Dearing
Physics - Axel Elling | History of Art - Emma Chapman]
Thursday April 23

The discussions will be in held in the Sterling Memorial Library, Lecture Hall.

Manuscripts and Archives offers two student prizes each year: one is awarded for an outstanding senior essay on Yale; and the second is awarded for an outstanding senior essay based on research done in Manuscripts and Archives.

Summer position as an aid to Matthew Weed: A blind and diabetic Postdoc in the medical center needs help this summer. He writes: “My name is Matthew Weed (SM'93, Grd'04), and I am a blind and diabetic Postdoc completing science policy and medical education research in the Yale medical center. I need help from people this summer with a very simple blood glucose monitoring and insulin measurement routine that is very difficult for me to carry out independently as a result of my combined disabilities. I must carry out this routine every day at lunch (noon), at 7:30 AM and at 5:30 PM. I will greatly appreciate your help in accomplishing this essential task. Previous medical training is not needed and many non-science majors have enjoyed helping me. Along with doing the ten-minute medical routine, I will ask you to help me maneuver through the dining hall/hospital cafeteria/local restaurants. Your total time commitment need be no more than an hour a week, and your help will make it possible for me to be healthy and able to focus on doing my work. Traditionally, volunteers commit to help me at one meal time per week. This is done to ensure that people know when to be available and to protect their time. A pool of reserve people provides back-up should short term conflicts arise. Should you feel that this role is best for you, I will greatly appreciate your willingness to help in this way. If you are interested, please contact my volunteer coordinator kenneth.ike at yale.edu so that a training session (duration 15-30 minutes) can be organized so that you can watch an experienced volunteer perform the routine and decide whether you feel comfortable giving me this essential help. Please also feel free to contact me (matthew.weed@yale.edu) or call me on (203) 436-2271 if you would like to talk with me about this. If you would like, you can get an undergraduate perspective on helping me from jennifer.k.lin (SM'09) nan.guo SY'09 or Christine.Nguyen MC'09, all of whom will be happy to give you their perspectives on helping me.”
