We hope you are studying hard for mid-terms coming up fast! CSULB Nursing Students Rock! Here is some new information regarding an exciting opportunity: The Global Studies Institute’s Global Fellows Program is now accepting applications for 2018-20. Now in its 4th year, we are making a change from a one year to a two-year program:... In Year 1 the program supports an internship, service learning, or training activity; this can be an internship done for a major requirement. Students also use this year to develop their projects. In Year 2 the program supports the implementation of individual student projects that enhance global awareness on our campus. Students can be from any major but must commit to the two years and must be graduating no earlier than Spring 2020. The timing is perfect for highly ambitious Freshmen, native Sophomores/Juniors, and new transfer students. For more information: http://www.cla.csulb.edu//globalst/global-fellows-program/
