Graduate Student Success Series: Jingyi Li

The Graduate Center is thrilled to celebrate Jingyi Li, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of East Asian Studies, on receiving a Japan Foundation Doctoral Fellowship.

I have been benefitting from Graduate Center resources since my first year in my Ph.D. program. In 2017, I had the opportunity to attend grant-writing workshops and peer-review sessions as a University Fellow, which encouraged me to keep improving my project proposal and grant-writing skills. During the application process for my dissertation research, I received tremendous help and support from the Office of Fellowships at the Graduate Center. Thanks to the Graduate Center, I was awarded two grants for my archival research.
