These awards are to support and advance student studies and endeavors in one of three areas: individual research, study abroad, or <u>unpaid</u> internship experiences. Awards may range from $500 to up to $2,000 per individual depending on the scale and scope of the project or activity proposed. All Honors College students in good standing who are making good progress toward completing or have completed the Honors College citation are eligible to apply.

The Sigma Circle of ODK at College Park began in 1927 and, since then, has initiated over 4000 students, faculty, and honorary members. ODK tapped Senator Joe Tydings in 1950 when he was playing varsity lacrosse and US Congressman Steny Hoyer in 1962 when he was SGA Vice President. ODK has also initiated other proven leaders such as Civil Rights Activist Julian Bond, Coach Brenda Frese, ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The names of all of these outstanding leaders, along with many others, are engraved on the ODK Fountain on McKeldin Mall. Some of our current members include Goldwater Scholars, National Champions, presidents and founders of many campus organizations, editors, writers, journalists, and performers. Additionally, many of our Sigma Circle members advocate for the members of our campus community through SGA, RHA, advisory committees, and more recently on President Pines’ committee that is working to “end anti - black racism” at UMD.</p><p>ODK brings together junior, senior, and graduate students with our most outstanding faculty members, to recognize campus leaders and to encourage other students to achieve. We seek accomplished leaders in five areas of campus community life.</p><p>❖ SCHOLARSHIP</p><p>❖ CAMPUS OR COMMUNITY SERVICE, SOCIAL, RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES AND</p><p>CAMPUS GOVERNMENT</p><p>❖ ATHLETICS</p><p>❖ JOURNALISM, SPEECH AND THE MASS MEDIA</p><p>❖ CREATIVE AND PERFORMING ARTS</p><p>Omicron Delta Kappa requires a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.690 for juniors (60-89 credits), 3.670 for seniors (90+ credits), and 3.920 for graduate students to be considered for membership.</p><p>Applications are available ONLINE now! Students should visit www.odk.umd.edu to begin the application process. Applications must be received electronically no later than 4:00 p.m., Friday, February 11, 2022. For more information and clarification about how to complete this application, we encourage you to view the tutorial uploaded to the application website. Additionally, there is a comprehensive frequently asked questions file that we encourage applicants to view as well for information and answers to their questions.</p><p><br /></p>Dean Heberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07697592265661649311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464856340903810972.post-31739817917447896802022-01-28T07:52:00.000-08:002022-01-28T07:52:37.468-08:00Gilman Scholarship for Virtual and In-person Study Abroad<p> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Are you an undergraduate student, Pell Grant recipient, and U.S. citizen with international interests?

Students who are motivated to improve the</p><p>world we live in through local, justice-oriented action are encouraged to apply. Each institution</p><p>with USM is invited to nominate one Langenberg Legacy Fellow and by completing this</p><p>application you will be entered into the selection process of College Park undergraduate and</p><p>graduate student applicants at the University of Maryland. There will be one Legacy fellow</p><p>selected for the University of Maryland - College Park to take their place among others from</p><p>within the USM institution fellows.</p><p><br /></p><p>Program Description: USM is committed to civic education and civic engagement, and the</p><p>Langenberg Legacy is a grant program that supports this priority by funding student-led projects</p><p>dedicated to civic engagement. The Langenberg Legacy evolved out of the Langenberg Lecture</p><p>and Award program, which was originally established to honor former USM Chancellor Donald</p><p>N. Langenberg on his retirement in 2002. The existential threats of our time include wealth</p><p>inequality, the climate crisis, voter suppression, and widespread disinformation campaigns,</p><p>among others. Students are invited to propose projects that aim to combat these threats on a</p><p>small scale, promoting justice within their university community. USM encourages participation</p><p>from students representing a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives.</p><p>➢ Projects must take place on campus or within the campus community.</p><p>➢ Projects are action-oriented. You are welcome to include a research component in your</p><p>project, but you must include an activity (e.g., event, lecture, panel discussion,</p><p>volunteering).</p><p>➢ Projects must involve a faculty or staff sponsor. As part of the application process, you</p><p>are responsible for finding a faculty or staff member on campus to act as your sponsor to</p><p>assist in project implementation.</p><p>➢ Projects may be completed in the summer of 2022 or fall of 2022.</p><p>Program Benefits: Fellows will receive a $1,000 stipend at the beginning of the project and</p><p>$500 at the end of the project, following completion of all program requirements. Fellows will</p><p>also be invited to participate in community building activities hosted by the USM during the</p><p>coming year, such as networking meet-and-greets, professional development webinars, and</p><p>events to recognize Fellows and their work.</p><p><br /></p><p>Program Requirements:</p><p>➢ Complete and submit your application by the deadline of February 28, 2022 and submit</p><p>your completed application to Dr. Marsha Guenzler-Stevens, Director, Adele H.

This is the individual that would</p><p>be compensated for your project advisement.</p><p>➢ Complete a final report after completing your project. The report should include a brief</p><p>description of project and a personal reflection on how the project impacted you and the</p><p>campus community. (1,000-word maximum, due February 28, 2023; complete</p><p>instructions will be sent to student Fellows).</p><p><br /></p><p>NAME: ______________________________________________________________</p><p>UID: _________________________________________________________________</p><p>Email: ________________________________________________________________</p><p>Address: ______________________________________________________________</p><p>Phone: ________________________________________________________________</p><p><br /></p><p>Application Questions</p><p><br /></p><p>1.
