Dear prospective Normandy Scholar Program student:

This letter is to invite you to consider the Frank Denius Normandy Scholar Program on World War II (NSP) as a part of your educational experience at The University of Texas at Austin. The Normandy Scholar Program, which is entering its 32 th year, is open to all majors on campus and does not require a foreign language. It offers one-semester (Spring 2023) of intensive study of the causes, course, and impact of World War Two followed by a nearly month-long faculty-led trip to the most important World War Two sites in London, Normandy, Paris, Berlin, and Warsaw. Students who meet the program requirements and are looking for an extraordinary educational opportunity are invited to apply.
We would like to encourage you to come to the NSP table at the Study Abroad Fair to talk to former Normandy Scholars about their experiences in the program and come to an Information Session about the program.

Study Abroad Fair: Thursday, September 8, Gregory Gym Plaza, 10:00-3:00.

Information Session on the Normandy Scholar Program and the History Honors
Program: Tuesday, September 13 at 5:00 in GAR 1.102

If you would like to acquaint yourself with the program, please view the NSP web site.
There you will see testimonials from past Liberal Arts Honors students, such as this one from one of last year’s students Katherine DeBerry: “The Normandy Scholar Program is the defining experience of my time at UT Austin. I learned how to balance a challenging workload while improving my writing and critical thinking skills in a fun and thought-provoking environment. There is also significant internal development that occurs among Normandy Scholars. The program taught me how to think about WWII and the world with a thoughtful and empathetic mindset. I don’t think that I will ever look at history the same. The professors also challenge students tremendously, and their support and encouragement made me feel that any challenge, academic or not, was possible. Not only is the program a transformative educational experience, but it also fosters lifelong friendships and memories. I know that many of my classmates will be my friends for life, and being able to travel to Europe with them was a priceless opportunity. I am so grateful for the program and highly encourage anyone interested to reach out and apply.”

For further information, please contact the Director of the Normandy Scholar Program, Dr. Charters Wynn at wynn@utexas.edu, or you can visit the History Department's Undergraduate Advising Office, Garrison Hall, Room 1.140, 471-7670.

NSP Application Deadline: Monday, October 12. The application

Sincerely,

Charters Wynn

Frank Denius Normandy Scholar Program on World War II

My name is Megan Tran, and I’m the editor-in-chief of The Daily Texan. As part of our semesterly recruitment process, I like to reach out to professors who teach writing heavy classes in search of particularly bright students. Professors always provide the best suggestions for potential writers, and it’s an invaluable part of our recruitment process.

In particular, I’m looking for students who stand out because of their writing, or who have a notable interest in social issues or the UT community, that would make valuable columnists for the Texan’s opinion department. If you can think of anyone off the top of your head, I would really appreciate the opportunity to reach out to them personally. If you can’t think of anyone — or if you would prefer to pass along the application directly — I’ve included links to the Texan’s Fall 2022 application and application guide.
