In January 2020, eleven UNG students and alumni were selected as semifinalists for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program. We are happy to announce that two our majors received awards!

Madelyn Beacham, a fall 2019 graduate in International Affairs, was selected for Fulbright graduate degree. She plans to pursue a Master’s program in International Relations while doing research in Turkey on education strategies for young adult refugees. Her grant will cover her living expenses plus her tuition at a Turkish university. She is the first UNG student to receive a Fulbright graduate degree grant.

Benny Purk, a fall 2018 graduate in International Affairs, was selected for a German English Teaching Assistantship.

Congratulations to Madelyn and Benny!
