Mac grad '07 awarded Fulbright Scholarship

By Anna Waugh

A 2007 Macalester graduate was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship over the summer to bring the total number of 2007 graduates studying abroad through the scholarship to five. Annie Berge ’07, a German major and Environmental Studies minor, was awarded a special Fulbright to perform an English teaching assistantship in Mittweida, Germany. While the purpose of her program is to teach, she will also complete a small, supplemental research project while she is there.

The Fulbright Scholarship, a grant managed by the Institute of International Education, allows students who have graduated with at least a B.A. to partake in a 10-month research program in a country of their choice.

The Fulbright Program was established in 1947 and its website says that it “aims to increase mutual understanding between the peoples of the United States and other countries, through the exchange of persons, knowledge, and skills.”

Since 1998, 28 Fulbright Scholarships have been awarded to Macalester students.

    I used to be recommended this blog by way of my cousin. I am no longer positive whether this submit is written by means of him as no one else realize such particular about my trouble. You’re incredible! Thank you!

    Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
