A10. Students Crossing Boundaries Fellowship Opportunity
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the last week to apply for the Students Crossing Boundaries
fellowship program to Israel/West Bank or the US/Mexico border!
Students Crossing Boundaries strives to provide its successful
applicants with exposure to issues in select areas around the globe and
encourages students to observe the social, cultural, economic and
political conditions of that area and document and disseminate their
experiences to the public.
The goal of the organization is to have students bear witness to the
global issues that define both our generation and the future in order
to enhance the understanding of these issues while strengthening the
communication between disparate points of view. We also encourage
students to study these conflicts personally, in order to gain new
perspectives of both localized problems and the world as a whole.
SCB Fellows achieve this mission by acquiring internships in varying
fields of study, bringing greater breadth and depth to their
exploration of these issues beyond the classroom setting.
Candidates must strive to break any preconceptions they may have and
endeavor to go beyond their comfort zones as a way to make the world a
better place.
Applications online: Due by November 20th 2009
