We're excited to welcome our newest scholars (pictured above), from China and Iceland, to the U.S. and on campus! We wish you a successful and enjoyable time here at UD.
We're also pleased to introduce you to the newest member of the OISS Scholar Team: Renee Blakeley, Scholar Services Associate. We're happy to wish our best to Kwaku Addae-Ankrah, who will be leaving OISS to become a Teaching Assistant in the Economics department.
Scholars, we want to hear from you and share your work and dreams with UD and the world! Starting this spring we will highlight one scholar each month, in the Scholar E-Newsletter and on our social media platforms (
Facebook,
Twitter and
Instagram).
Answer the question
“What difference do you want to make in the world?” in 250 words or less. Be sure to include your name, country, department, and focus of your work at UD within your short essay. Email your essay and a photo, if you have one, to
sferrell@udel.edu. If you don't have a photo, we will schedule a time to take one.
Get Involved in the Community!
Make sure you're not spending all of your time in your lab or office and get connected to your "home away from home"! There are many OISS, UD, City of Newark and New Castle County activities to enjoy.
Join OISS for a special Winter Social on January 24, until our weekly International Coffee Hours start up again on February 7.
Some local, low cost activities to do this winter include:
Fred Rust Ice Arena has fun public ice skating sessions scheduled all month long.
Newark Free Library, right at the beginning of Main Street, has activities for kids and adults
