The new year presents all sorts of great opportunities—from funded summer internships and research opportunities to innovative study abroad programs and the launch of next year’s cycle of major fellowships and awards. It also offers a chance to celebrate new milestones—a record cycle for this year’s Fulbright applicants, a newly funded cohort of undergraduate researchers, a successful semester of community-engaged scholarship in behavioral medicine. As you explore these and other items below, we in the Office of Engaged Learning invite you to join us in gratitude for the privilege that is ours to learn, study, research, and serve at Baylor University. Happy new year!
Cheers,
