BWRC Cohort Member Requirements
Who can apply: Black woman-identified graduate students in any field, pursuing any graduate program
IU Libraries’ BWRC scholars will be required to do the following:
- Attend monthly gatherings, generally on the third Wednesday of each month (see full schedule below). Due to the fact that slots are limited and community-building is a main focus of the cohort, regular attendance is strongly encouraged.
- Participate in informal reflections and complete an end-of-year survey
