 A weekly post highlighting upcoming fellowships, events, and other ONIF resources.

Dear Students, Alumni, Faculty, & Staff,

The Office of National & International Fellowships (ONIF) is moving. In mid-October, ONIF will relocate from University Hall 1879 to Leavey Suite I- near the new Habit Burger Grill!

In light of our upcoming move, we are exploring an office name change in order to increase visibility on campus. 

We ask that you take a minute to submit the following survey by Tuesday, August 21. Your input is invaluable and will help us determine if we should move forward with the name change. Responses are confidential.

Thank you,

Cassidy Alvarado
Director of ONIF
