Joshua Schultz of Sullivan, Wis., has been awarded a prestigious ISI Honors Fellowship. Schultz is a student at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) studying architectural and structural engineering.
The Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI), a national educational organization headquartered in Wilmington, Del., recently selected Schultz as a Richard and Karna Bodman Scholar in Science, one of 50 Honors Fellows selected for the 2008-2009 academic year. Each year, ISI's prestigious Honors Program selects the nation's most talented undergraduates to participate in a year-long program of educational enrichment.
As part of ISI's Honors Program, throughout the next academic year, Schultz will receive continuing direction from his faculty mentors through participation in small seminars and online discussions about both permanent questions and contemporary concerns. The ISI faculty mentors and staff will provide one-on-one professional assistance to the each of the Honors Fellows, including information about internships, job opportunities, graduate and professional programs, and related concerns. Schultz also will attend an ISI Career Development Seminar, designed to help prepare him for future positions of leadership. In addition, he will receive a large collection of free books and journals.
In addition, Schultz attended the "Civilization and Civilizations: The West in Context" ISI summer conference in Québec City, Canada. ISI Honors Fellows at this conference examined how our own Western Civilization relates to, and differs from other civilizations as they pondered some of the most fundamental and urgent questions of our time. While examining our civilization in context, students had the opportunity to engage in debate and discussion led by outstanding faculty mentors from numerous colleges and universities, who teach in the humanities and social sciences.
Founded in 1953, ISI works "to educate for liberty"-to identify the best and the brightest college students and to nurture in these future leaders the American ideal of ordered liberty. If you would like more information about ISI's Honors Program, please visit http://www.isi.org/.
