Phoenix, Arizona

Interviewing finalists from Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and Utah.

Arizona State University
Tempe, AZ
Fulton Center Building:  6th Floor Conference Room and 6th Floor Board Room
This panel will convene at 8:30 a.m.

For the past several years, the Truman Scholars Association (an organization of Truman Scholar alumni) has hosted pre-interview dinners in the interview cities the night prior to the finalist interviews. The dinners are informal, fun, optional events (interview panelists do not attend). Invited to the dinners are incoming Truman Scholar candidates as well as older Truman Scholars from the area. The dinner locations are chosen at relatively inexpensive restaurants close to the venue where the students will be interviewed, and each person attending the dinner covers his or her own meal and transportation expenses.

The pre-interview dinner for Phoenix will be held on March 6.

If you are interested in attending the Phoenix dinner, please contact the TSA host:  Amy Shlossman.
