UW PSO Scholarship Committee
c/o Suzanne R. St Peter, chair
Box 354900

Dear PSO Scholarship Committee:

Receiving a PSO professional development scholarship to attend the National Association of Science Writers’ annual meeting this October was a great morale booster. I of course greatly appreciate the financial help. Not only will the $300 from PSO directly take the sting out of the total cost, but applying for and receiving the scholarship might help leverage support from my department, as well.

Maybe even more importantly, receiving the scholarship helped me feel more like a part of the university. Just knowing that there is an organized group that actively helps UW staff engage in lifelong learning relative to their careers gives me a good feeling about working here. And being selected myself makes me feel supported by a broad network, which in turn inspires me to invest more of myself in my work for the UW.

In addition, I am “hooking up” with other UW science writers attending the NASW conference for carpooling and lodging, reinforcing our professional bonds and building bonds of friendship. And I feel certain that the conference itself will fill me with new ideas and applicable skills.

Thank you for investing your time in serving on the committee, and thank you for supporting my proposal to attend the conference.

Sincerely,

Anita Wahler
Public information specialist, Bioengineering
