Events
The Thomas C. Barry Summer Travel Fellowship Info Session | Supports Yale first years, sophomores, and juniors who are planning independent projects, work, or research in the Global South or emerging-market countries. The mission of the Barry Fellows program is to create leaders with international experience, who can help those less fortunate, learn from those experiences, and bring those lessons back to the Yale community and beyond. Applications for the summer term close March 3. Join us to learn more about the Barry Fellowship and talk to Yale students with independent international experiences! Zoom Link.
