One surprise was the record number of Fulbright candidates this year with 93 applications submitted. The highest number in the past was 87 applicants. Over the course of the year, there was also more collaboration among campus partners including Bing Overseas Studies Programs (BOSP) and Career Development Center (CDC) through the annual Away from Stanford Opportunities Fair as well as with the Haas Center for Public Policy through the Haas Year of Service Fair. We also worked with Residence Halls and Community Centers where we conducted scholarship information sessions. In addition, meetings and joint scholarship information sessions were held with Undergraduate Advising and Research to promote both overseas and domestic awards across campus. ORC Personnel Throughout the academic year, Tamara Cogan continued as the main Front Desk Coordinator whose primary role is to take passport photos, process ISIC cards as well as work on projects and perform a number of administrative duties. Kristin Costigan was also instrumental during the busy Fall 2010 scholarship season. Kristin left the ORC in February 2011 to complete her graduate studies and to go on maternity leave. From September 2010 to May 2011, we welcomed Kate McKinney, our graduate student intern from the School of Education Policy, Organization, Leadership Studies Graduate who helped us with scholarships and a large survey as described below. Kate’s internship consisted of three main areas: Fall quarter: To learn to develop, collect, and analyze survey data; Winter: To develop own advising skills; Spring: To develop outreach plans and outreach skills. 34 Bechtel International Center Annual Report 2010/11 We also hired Adrian Bonifacio a work-study student to assist with passport photos one afternoon per week and other student workers, Monica Climaco and Yoon-Jung Lee who helped us occasionally with passport photos especially during the rush period. In early July, thanks to the IDEA Grant funding we hired Camira Powell for our short-term outreach video project. In mid- August, Mikaela Hinds join our team to help during our busy scholarship season for 2011-2012. Photos and ISIC Photograph and International Student Identification Card (ISIC) services continue to be scheduled for Monday-Friday, 1-5pm. We have extended the photo taking service from 11am-5pm during the third week of each quarter as it coincides with the BOSP study abroad program deadlines. We increased the Front Desk coverage during these peak times to handle the student rush for photos. In January 2011, the ORC purchased a new Sony UPX-C300 instant passport photo camera and digital printing system. In October 2010 the ORC bought a Brother electronic LCD display typewriter to process ISIC cards as the previous typewriter had irreparable issues with several of the keys. The need for the typewriter replacement was determined because the ISIC covering materials are not suitable for high heat laser printers that had been attempted previously. At this time, we are still unable to create digital photos as it would be too costly to purchase the equipment for this service. Nonetheless, the new camera does facilitate the image processing quality and time. Resource Library The ORC library is still used regularly by students who consult the binders of successful essays written by Stanford scholarship recipients. The hours are Monday-Friday, 10am-5pm.
