Special Episode: Rhodes Reflection Part One Working Girls History

Working Girls History show-host, Autumn Guillotte sits down with fellow URI alum and Rhodes Scholarship finalist to talk about the process of applying for prestigious awards, especially coming from a public university background. Part one of three in this discussion introduces the Rhodes and Marshall scholarships and lays out the do’s and don’t for letters of recommendation.
The views expressed in this podcast are Madison and Autumn's alone, and not the opinions of the University of Rhode Island or any of its offices.
