Spring Applications for Global Engagement Fellows Program – Deadline January 10th
Creating a multicultural, multilingual, and interconnected campus.
It’s still not too late to apply for the Global Engagement Fellows Program!
The Global Engagement Fellows (GEF) are dedicated to creating a multicultural, multilingual, and interconnected campus. We are looking for dedicated Fellows (students) and Mentors (alumni/members of the Vanderbilt community) to help us uphold these ideals. The Fellows are paired with a Mentor for the year. Our mentors have years of experience crossing cultural borders and living in a multilingual world. As faculty members, staff, alumni, and community partners, our GEF Mentors contribute to the program by lending their expertise, by listening, and sharing their wealth of experience with their Fellows. Our Fellows are comprised of international students, heritage speakers, third-culture kids, returnees from study abroad, or any student interested in crossing cultural and linguistic borders in service to the greater goal: Promoting language integration and cultural competence among Vanderbilt University’s campus communities.
Together, with support from the Center for Languages, Fellows and Mentors explore Nashville’s multilingual community and share their passion about language and culture by hosting events for the broader Vanderbilt campus. These events hosted by GEF provide culturally enriching experiences and activities for student audiences, often combined with content in languages other than English (readings, performances, music, media, television/films, speakers).
