Coordinator: 

Victoria Huynh '19

​

Core work:

• The CRC established this peer advising position seven years ago, in response to an observed need to diversify the applicant pools for various campus-based and nationally-competivie FIRe opportunities. The FIRe Coordinator works with the CRC Director and other colleagues to increase the visibility of these programs, especially to underrepresented student populations.

• Victoria held drop-in advising hours at the CRC & U-FLi Center.

• She facilitated a "FIReSide Chat" at the Brown Center for Students of Color.

• She wrote blog posts with advice about how to navigate the proposal process, and with stories of students who received FIRe opportunities (see link below).

• She advertised her availability for one-on-one meetings to support student applications for Mellon-Mays Fellowship, Royce Fellowship, and other opportunities.

• She coordinated a CRC staffer presentation for the new Bonner Fellows at the Swearer Center.
