From the home page of the Sakai site, students should be able to view the ISSS website, recent announcements and a calendar of events related to the fellowship. When accessing the site, a prompt will ask, “Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?” In order to access all the information provided on the site click “No.”
To access the application form, students should click on “Resources” from the homepage menu to find the form titled “Class_of_38.dotx.” (Students should also find a document with these same instructions in the resources area.)
