Description
The Walker Odyssey Fellowships were established in 2006 to enable our top Watson candidates who were unsuccessful in securing Watson Fellowships to pursue their projects on a more limited scale. After announcement of the Watson Fellows in mid-March, the Honors Committee designates which Watson candidates from Hendrix will receive the $12,500 award. Walker Fellows spend a portion of the year after they graduate on their journeys under guidelines and expectations similar to those of Watson Fellows. A condition upon their return is that Walker Fellows must make presentations to the Hendrix community regarding the completion of their projects.
