by Green & Gold News  |   

The UAA Education Abroad Office is excited to announce an opportunity for UAA students to apply for the CIEE Frederick Douglass Global Fellowship. The application is currently open through the CIEE website. Applications are due Tuesday, Feb. 14. 

12 exceptional student leaders will be selected to conduct a comparative study of social justice leadership in America, South Africa, and Ireland.

The program runs July 7 – Aug. 4, 2023 and Fellows will travel to Washington, DC, Cape Town, Dublin, Derry and Belfast to explore the legacies of Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, John Lewis, Nelson Mandela, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Daniel O’Connell, John Hume and other giants of social change.

The Fellowship award covers the full program cost and airfare sponsored by CIEE.

During the four-week summer program, the first week will be taught virtually and the next three weeks taught on- site. Fellows will study how changemakers shaped pathways to peace, including the Emancipation Proclamation in America, the end of Apartheid in South Africa and the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland.
