Global Engagement

Garner and Stallsmith are the first Elon students to receive the USAID Donald M. Payne International Development Graduate Fellowship and will join the nationally-selective cohort of just 30 fellows.

Assistant Professor Kai Swanson and 17 Elon students traveled to Park City, Utah, and Hollywood during Winter Term for an immersion experience into the film and entertainment industries.

To conclude the Winter Term study away course in the Caribbean, this year’s Interactive Media cohort hosted a Jan. 24 presentation to highlight its support of Dove Youth Development, a nonprofit organization that provides educational opportunities and afterschool programs.

Led by Assistant Professor Brittany Mercado, a January visit to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City provided more than just corporate lessons; it presented current students the opportunity to be mentored by accomplished graduates.

The Workshop on Intercultural Skills Enhancement (WISE) Conference was held on Feb. 3 and 4 at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Elon alumni rise to the challenge every day in many ways, but MacLean is reaching new heights, quite literally with her travel agency, Venture Patagonia, based in Puerto Natales, Chile that prides itself on cultural immersion and life-changing experiences.

During the Winter Term course led by Rich Landesberg from the School of Communications, students visited concentration and death camps across Europe.

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers research, study, and teaching opportunities to recent graduates in more than 140 countries, with approximately 1,900 grants awarded annually in all fields of study. 

No experience is necessary and open to students and faculty.

Associate Professor David Bockino and 19 students in his Through the Lens of ESPN class enjoyed an in-depth tour during Winter Term of Argentina and Uruguay, exploring athletic venues, national media outlets, and the importance of soccer in South American culture.
