Wednesday, April 1-

  • Alternative Breaks Site Leader Info Session | 12:30-1:30PM | PNE 239 – The success of each Alternative Break (AB) trip depends heavily upon the quality of its student leaders. In fact, strong Site Leaders ensure the success and effectiveness of the student-led program as a whole! It is the responsibility of site leaders to coordinate all on-site activities, facilitate participant training and education, and ultimately guide the group through a week of intense and rewarding service. Site Leaders will work with the Service Program Director and the AB Student Coordinators. No previous AB experience is required to become a Site Leader, although familiarity with community involvement and demonstrated leadership abilities are strongly preferred. If you are interested in learning more about the Site Leader position, and how you can help to build the Alternative Breaks movement as a student leader, we encourage you to attend an information session. Please register for this event through MyCWS.
  • Travel the World: Watson Fellowship Info Session | 7:00-8:00PM | SCI 396 – The Thomas J. Watson Fellowship offers college graduates of “unusual promise” a year of independent, purposeful exploration and travel — in international settings new to them — to enhance their capacity for resourcefulness, imagination, openness, and leadership and to foster their humane and effective participation in the world community. Alumnae have used the Watson to study the spinning of different fibers, overcoming social stigma in the classroom, the experiences of female taxi drivers, alternative energy sources, and glassblowing. Come learn more! RSVP on MyCWS.

Thursday, April 2 –

  • Fulbright U.S. Student Program Info Session |12:30-1:30PM | GRH 442 (CWS library) – The Fulbright U.S. Student Program provides grants for individually designed study/research projects or for English Teaching Assistant Programs. During their grants, Fulbrighters will meet, work, live with and learn from the people of the host country, sharing daily experiences.  The program facilitates cultural exchange through direct interaction on an individual basis in the classroom, field, home, and in routine tasks, allowing the grantee to gain an appreciation of others’ viewpoints and beliefs, the way they do things, and the way they think. Through engagement in the community, the individual will interact with their hosts on a one-to-one basis in an atmosphere of openness, academic integrity, and intellectual freedom, thereby promoting mutual understanding. RSVP on MyCWS.
