[HISTORY UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS]

Hello students and alumni,
Welcome to Spring! We have three upcoming events for undergrads, alumni and grad students in all fields who may be interested in exploring opportunities to consider graduate degree programs overseas.

Graduate Study in the UK
Tuesday, March 26, 4:00-5:00 PM
MGH 171 RSVP here<https://expo.uw.edu/expo/rsvp/event/1257>
Alyce Myers, International Officer for Durham University, will visit UW to talk with students and interested faculty/staff. Alyce will help demystify the differences in the US vs. UK higher education systems, the grad school application process, funding opportunities, and life in the UK. This will be a helpful opportunity regardless of which UK universities you may be interested in, or if you’re just getting started thinking about graduate study options!

Study and Research in the UK via the Churchill, Gates Cambridge, Marshall and Rhodes Scholarships: Panel discussion with UW scholars

Join us for this panel discussion featuring Abby Burtner (2024 Churchill Scholar), Daniel Chen (2023 Marshall Scholar), Sonia Fereidooni (2024 Gates Cambridge Scholar) and Dr. Brian Reed, UW Divisional Dean of Humanities (Rhodes Scholar and Oxford alum).

Join us to learn from their experience researching degree programs, finding mentors, and applying for competitive scholarships to support their goals.

Opportunities in Japan: Information Session

Join members of the Consulate General of Japan as well as current awardees, Zoe Chau and Amanda Nguyen (both are MEXT scholars, Zooming in from Japan!), to learn more about living and working overseas. In addition to hearing about the application process and funding opportunities, hear about living in Japan and representing the US as a citizen ambassador while there.
