On March 14, 2018, the Library hosted a portion of the joint Humanities PhD Recruitment event organized by the Dean of the Faculty. In the past, each department had their own separate event for undecided, admitted students. In an new approach, eight humanities departments joined together to offer prospective students the opportunity to meet each other and to hear about special research and teaching opportunities from the Graduate School, the Center for Language Studies, the Cogut Institute, and the Library.

Library staff described graduate fellowships available in the John Hay Library, the Center for Digital Scholarship, and the Mellon Foundation-funded Digital Publishing Program, as well as other opportunities for graduate students to augment their disciplinary training through working with expert library staff on a range of projects. We look forward to collaborating with the new PhD candidates who decide to matriculate at Brown.
