Thanks to a late increase in funding from the U.S. Department of Education, CGS will be able to offer several supplementary FLAS fellowships to support graduate and undergraduate study in academic year 2019-20. This competition will be held in Fall 2019 (with an application deadline of October 15) and will be a one-time supplement to the regular competition that was held in January of 2019. If you have applied last January but were not awarded a FLAS, we encourage you to re-submit your application for these supplementary awards. New applicants are also welcome.

The Center for Global Studies was honored to attend the Global Studies Consortium hosted by the Global and European Studies Institute at the University of Leipzig in June. The consortium met to share curricula and ideas about teaching programs, exchange teaching materials, including lectures and reading lists, facilitate cooperative teaching projects, such as distance learning, on both bilateral and multilateral levels, develop surveys of student career paths, and share information about employment and internships for students and encourage student and faculty exchange agreements.
We are proud to share that our director, Steven Witt, was named a visiting professor at Dokkyo University in Sōka, Japan!
