UWF faculty and students are invited to register to join the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities and Reubin O'D. Askew Department of Government for an information session on the Fulbright U.S. Student Program on Tuesday, November 12, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the John C. Pace Library Multipurpose Room (Building 32, Room 215).

The Fulbright U.S. Student program expands perspectives through academic and professional advancement and cross-cultural dialogue. Fulbright creates connections in a complex and changing world. In partnership with more than 140 countries worldwide, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers unparalleled opportunities in all academic disciplines to passionate and accomplished graduating college seniors, graduate students, and young professionals from all backgrounds. Program participants pursue graduate study, conduct research, or teach English abroad.

Also, learn about the Florida Gubernatorial Fellows Program. The program was created to ensure Florida’s greatness by actively educating and cultivating its future leaders. This non-partisan program immerses students from public and private universities in key areas of state government. During their nine-month tenure in Tallahassee, Fellows receive advanced on-the-job training as well as an invaluable front-line view of the inner workings of government. As Fellows, participants fulfill roles of critical responsibility, interact closely with the state’s top leaders, and employ their skills and abilities in a highly rewarding environment.
