Katherine Simms of Waterford Named a Summer Muskie Fellow at Muskingum University

2013 Apr 25

Katherine Simms of Waterford has been named a Summer Muskie Fellow at Muskingum University in New Concord, Ohio. The program allows students and faculty to immerse themselves in the pursuit of highly specific and challenging areas that the students study during the regular school year.

Katherine will study branding strategies, market research and marketing strategies for a start-up business, under the guidance of Kristine Pray.

To be considered for a fellowship, students must write a detailed proposal of what they intend to study and what they hope that study will achieve. This is done in tandem with the faculty members with whom they intend to work, and who must provide the formal nomination for the fellowship. Proposals are then considered by the office of the vice president of academic affairs and ultimately approved by the president of the university.
