National & International Fellowships, Higher Ed, & Young Adult Literature. Also my dog, TV, books, & the Jonas Brothers. She/her. Views are my own.

Not to brag (okay, maybe just a little...) but 20% of the NIH Undergraduate Scholarships (15 total) awarded last year went to Elon students. Proud of these students, and proud of our work in the Fellowships Office. https://t.co/S4kzqxXco4

@KBrownJr4 Thanks, Kenneth! Is there such a thing as a bad Jonas Brothers concert though??? 😉

[Nicole Galante @ngalanteee]

Happy Fulbright National Deadline day! The largest cohort of applicants in Elon’s history all hit submit! I’m celebrating the only way I know how: by going to my 28th (I think?) Jonas Brothers concert tonight.

Heading into week four of drafting and revision with our Fulbright students... I don't think we've slept since August 21, but this is how I feel reading my students' fourth (and almost final) drafts today:

Ann and I couldn’t do it without the support of our office’s newest Fulbright advisor, Megan Isaac. This is my Fulbright ✨dream team✨ (I will spare you all the rant about how I met both of these women at 18 and sometimes mentors become partners in the best way possible.)

[Nicole Galante @ngalanteee]

Feeling big and exciting things as we gear up to support the largest Fulbright cohort in @ElonFellowships history… just under FORTY!!!!

Back with another pandemic pothos update: April 2020 - August 2023.

[Nicole Galante @ngalanteee]

I love college coffee! And I love Megan Isaac more!

[Elon University @elonuniversity]

How well do you know your #ElonTraditions?🌳
What year did College Coffee formally begin on campus?

I spent the summer facing my biggest fear… handles.

[Nicole Galante @ngalanteee]

I’ve had so much fun and learned so much at the National Association of Fellowships Advisors conference in New Orleans this week. I love this work too too too much (not that I’m complaining!)

My last week of fellowshipping before five weeks of summer vacation.

There is going to come a day--so much sooner than I want--when I will be forced to choose between a job I love and not being poor, and when that day comes you're never going to hear the end of it from me.

[Nicole Galante @ngalanteee]

I'll just say one thing and then I'll leave: Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be living paycheck to paycheck with a master's degree. What a joke.

Literally no one understands something more completely than a woman in a meeting who starts a question with “Just so I understand…”

[Nicole Galante @ngalanteee]

Ah, we meet again. It’s been ages. (Reader: it’s been since February)

[Nicole Galante @ngalanteee]

The Boren Boys! Nick and Bo are downright delightful and I could not be more proud of them--not just because they are the second and third Boren awardees in Elon history (!!!), but because they never let this competitive process get in the way of their friendship.

[Nicole Galante @ngalanteee]

What a beautiful evening celebrating our @ElonFellowships applicants. These students (like Hugh ❤️) have filled my first year in Fellowships with such joy, purpose, and love. I’m beyond lucky.
