TU junior part of selective honors fellowship

Thursday, August 23, 2007

    

A University of Tulsa junior has been selected to participate in a yearlong international institute.

Emily Jennings (Tulsa, Okla.), a junior philosophy major at The University of Tulsa, recently attended a week long summer conference in Quebec City, Quebec, as part of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute Honors Fellowship.

Jennings was one of 50 students selected for the ISI Honors Program. ISI Fellows will participate in a yearlong program of educational enrichment.

The summer conference was titled “Law in the Western Tradition: Common, Constitutional, Natural, and Divine.” Conference programming explored the values and ideas that animate the Western tradition, and encouraged students to untangle questions of contemporary politics under certain criteria.

During the next academic year, Jennings will receive continuing direction from her faculty mentors through participation in small seminars and online discussions about both permanent questions and contemporary concerns. The ISI faculty mentors and staff will provide one-on-one professional assistance, including information about internships, job opportunities, graduate and professional programs, and related concerns.

She will also attend an upcoming ISI Career Development Seminar designed to sharpen her leadership skills, and she will receive books and journals to aid her scholastic endeavors.

Founded in 1953, ISI is based in Wilmington, Del., and works “to identify the best and brightest college students and nurture in the future leaders the American ideal of ordered liberty.”
