Global Studies Awards & Honors
Global Studies majors have won recognition for both scholarship and service. Several graduates have received Fulbright or other study/travel awards to carry on research projects after they have graduated. Global Studies major Julie Blaskowski ’06 was named Americorps Member of the Year and even had a day named in her honor. A number of Global Studies majors have also received honors in the major, as well as other awards for leadership and service to the university community.
