  • Infomation Session for Faculty-Led Paris Study Abroad Program with Kathryn Engel

    Social Services Internships in Paris: Faculty-Led Study Abroad Program with Kathryn Engel

    Information Session

    January 17, 1:00 PM

    Burnham Hall B21 (Basement)  

     

    This is a great time to begin plan for your Study Abroad, make scholarship applications, and connect with family and friends around crowdfunding.  There are two scholarships Kathryn want you to know about and she also wanted to share a couple of tips for fundraising.  The application for the Paris program is attached and also available online. 

     

    Due on January 11, 2017:

    Fund for Education Abroad.  This is for non-traditional locations for study abroad in programs that are both immersive and rigorous.  This fits this program (although Paris is traditional) because it is immersive, rigorous and non-traditional in that students are interning within the social services.  Emphasize that an internship in the social services is a unique and non-traditional destination for studies in France.  It is important to note that this scholarship only supports academically rigorous and immersive study abroad programs.  

     

    http://fundforeducationabroad.org/applicants/

     

    Due on March 07, 2017:

    Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship from the Department of State. This is for Pell eligible students.  The application will open mid January and you can begin preparations by looking at the website.  

     

    http://www.iie.org/Programs/Gilman-Scholarship-Program/Deadlines-and-Timeline/Summer

     

    Tips for fundraising:

    Apply for scholarships,  use your financial aid, and use crowdfunding through a site or in person.  Be specific, describe your program and costs, and request airline miles donations for flights; miles all now have expiration dates so someone may share miles they cannot use.  

     

    Steps to take in no specific order to have an early application for this program:

    1)  Attend a First Step at Study Abroad  if you have not already

    2)  Meet with Irina Krymova at Study Abroad

    3)  Attend a Program Presentation with Kathryn and have an individual meeting with Kathryn 

    4)  Begin applying for scholarships at the Special Scholarships Office and seek others outside of UIC

     

    Please feel free to reach out any time with questions to fill in your scholarships or about any other way I can support you – engel@uic.edu

  • Understanding the Earth to Save the Earth: Environmental Career Paths, Tues. 11/15

    Professor Roy Plotnick, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

    Tuesday, November 15
    4:00-5:00 pm
    121 Burnham Hall

    Our environment – the Earth system we live in and depend on – is increasingly being altered by human activity, bringing a new and urgent dimension to the study of Earth and environmental sciences. Our understanding of Earth processes provides essential information on critical natural resources like water, air, and soil; the materials needed for innovative construction, manufacturing, and technology; and the framework for exploring other planets, moons, and beyond.  Careers  using a major in Earth and environmental science are many, including basic science, law, public health and policy, medicine, and engineering. Current projections are for strong growth in employment with jobs paying well above average.

    The 2017 Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship competition is under way, with two more application deadlines available for interested candidates: November 29 and January 23.

    As many of you know, the WW Teaching Fellowships offer intensive master’s-level teacher preparation, including a year of classroom experience, for exceptionally qualified candidates. Eligible applicants may be graduating seniors or recent grads/alumni; they should have a commitment to teaching in the urban and rural schools that most often lack strong STEM teachers; and they must have completed STEM degrees.

    The Fellowships are available this year in Georgia and New Jersey (with more states now in the works). Fellows attend a partner institution in one of these states and commit to teach for three years in the same state, but they need not be from that state. Fellows receive a generous stipend ($30,000 or more, depending on location) to complete the master’s program. Throughout their three-year teaching commitment, they continue to receive mentoring and support from both their universities and their schools.

    To learn more, take a look at the program’s website, download a poster, attend a webinar, or write directly to Danielle DiFiore, one of our WW Teaching Fellowship recruiters, atdifiore@woodrow.org. We’re always happy to hear from you, and we look forward to applications from your best candidates!
