Description
The Walker Odyssey Fellowships were awarded from 2006-2014, and enabled 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 designated which Watson candidates from Hendrix were to receive a Walker, which was half of the amount of the Watson award. Walker Fellows spent a portion of the year after they graduated on their journeys under guidelines and expectations similar to those of Watson Fellows. A condition upon their return was that Walker Fellows were to make presentations to the Hendrix community regarding the completion of their projects.
