We are hoping to recruit a few more individuals who are interested in serving on the GWIS Fellowship Evaluation Committee! As a committee member, you will manage 3-5 applications of your choosing and identify expert reviewers to complete an evaluation by May 15th, which should only be about 5 hours of total work between now and the review deadline. If you are interested in serving on the committee, please let us know as soon as possible by emailing us at fellowships@gwis.org, so we can get you added to the committee member portal and provide you access to additional resources.
