We hope all of you enjoyed your winter holidays after your exams. We look forward to seeing you at your mid-year evaluation interview on Friday, 18 January 2013, between 2:30 PM and 5:00 PM in our office in E-11. The purpose of this interview is to establish:
- Any changes in your need
- Your academic performance last semester
- Your compliance with the terms of your scholarship
- Your participation in community service
Please bring a copy of your latest transcript to the interview. We shall also have a general discussion at 5 PM on how to improve participation in Community Service. So far this year, we have planned activities on 6 different days but average sign-ups have been 5. Any Community Service effort cannot be meaningfully planned, funded, or completed without at least 10 participants.
Please note that your attendance at the interview and discussion is not optional. We do not have the resources to be any more flexible in timing. In the past, flexibility in timing has resulted in very low participation and too many requests for additional flexibility. For this reason, more than half of the scholarship recipients refused to appear for a mid-year interview last year. You have more than 2 hours to choose from on a Friday at a time of the year when you are not busy. If you have any questions, please email Mehreen. Thank you.
