oh the precious grennies....

this is the questions that Paul has to answer to get a scholarship from his uni in Seattle, is it just an impression that they are not that excited to share the green dollars????!!!!!!!

1) Roger Gillis, SJ (Core/Advising): Think back to the person you were on the night of your high school graduation; now think of the person you are today. How is the latter different from the former; in what ways have you changed/grown?

2) Fiona Robertson (Albers): During the course of your time at SU (either in or out of class, on campus or off) can you point to an event, an occurrence, an "aha moment" that radically altered the way in which you look at or understand the world. What was the epiphany and how/why did it affect you so?

3) Floyd Wright (2d Year Naef Scholar): Since the Naef Scholarship aims to build a community, tell us, if you will, what you can bring to that community and what you would hope to take away from it?

4) Toni Vezeau (Nursing): Imagine yourself stranded on a desert island. You get to choose one person living or dead, real or fictional, not a relative with whom to spend your time. Whom would you choose and why? What would be the nature of the conversation you share?

5) Laurie Prince (Student Development): The Scholars frequently participate in activities of a cultural nature, e.g. a play, movie, art show, museum exhibit. Tell us of a cultural experience of this type that you have had that opened your eyes to the arts or to the ideas/lessons conveyed by that art. What was it about this event that was so powerful?

6) Dave Madsen (Naef Moderator): Since I am going on sabbatical next year, I will have plenty of time for reading. Put two books on my reading list that because of their content, style, impact have made them seminal works for you. Why have they been so important for you?

7) Finally: When you decided to study abroad, what were you looking for? Has your quest been satisfied? What powerful experience have you had that was utterly unintended or unexpected? How will you be a changed individual upon your return to Seattle U?

How did you get these questions? I was under the impression that they safeguard them like nothing else so that people can't come in with an advantage over others.
