The deadline for all SEED Engineering mentoring program application
materials was on 6 February. 41 out of the 45 original applicants
completed their submissions and are now eligible for selection as
SEED participants. Tomorrow (9 February), we hold the selection
discussion and I will announce the results.
Tanya Jankot and I are now reading all of the application materials
from Russia and Israel – the application forms themselves and the
recommendation letters in particular. What an impressive and
accomplished group!
Here are some of my notes:
- Enthusiasms:
Asian studies, photography, sports (lots: paragliding, whitewater,
soccer, equestrian, basketball, fencing), games (pool,
puzzles), gardening, music (oboe, guitar, choir), bungee jumping,
cooking, etc. - Prior and current additional professions:
university professors (lots), university researcher, journalists &
editors & writers (lots), military officers (lots), teacher, business
owner, rescue worker, medic, etc. - Community work:
teaching children, volunteer police officer, animal rights advocate,
running synagogue programs, etc.
Tomorrow’s selection decision is going to be very hard.
