The three scholars
Robin, Daniel and Danny with DVC (Research) Professor Edwina Cornish
This year, three postgrad students from Monash were awarded Fulbright Scholarships - it has been quite some time since a single uni has had so many postgrad scholars in one year.
In a first for MPA (and in conjuction with Radio Monash) we have created a podcast about our "Three Scholars".
In part one, the students talk about the selection process, the presentation night and what is involved in being a Fulbright Scholar. In part two (out next month) they will discuss their research projects here at Monash.
