Five recent UCF graduates \u2014 include a College of Sciences alumna \u2014 have received prestigious Fulbright awards that will allow them to travel abroad to pursue research and educational opportunities or teach English.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s recipients will represent their alma mater in Montenegro, South Korea, Belgium and Brazil.<\/p>\n

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program, sponsored by the State Department, started in 1946 and awards about 1,900 grants annually to scholars from all areas of study. Forty Knights have received Fulbright awards in UCF\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at this year’s College of Sciences winner:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Honors Scholar\u00a0Noa Tann \u201919\u00a0<\/strong>majored in\u00a0international and global studies<\/a>. She participated in Model United Nations as committee director for the Knights Model UN conference and was also a student research associate in UCF Professor Peter Jacques\u2019 political ecology lab, presenting original research on the impact of the United States\u2019 withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement.<\/p>\n

She has studied Arabic at the Jewish-Arab Center for Peace at Givat Haviva in Israel and interned at the American Security Project, a nonpartisan public-policy think tank, researching climate and energy security issues and co-authoring a white paper on global water disputes.<\/p>\n

During the next year, she\u2019ll serve as an English teaching assistant in Brazil. \u201cI hope the Fulbright program will give me valuable experience working and living in a new country, as well as opportunities to represent the U.S. abroad and engage in cultural exchange,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

After her Fulbright experience ends, she plans to pursue a master\u2019s degree in international relations and work for the U.S. Foreign Service. She said she hopes her \u201cFulbright journey will give me a taste of the international, intercultural line of work I plan to pursue, and help me make a global difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

The other ’19 winners are:<\/p>\n

Alexis Jahncke<\/strong>, English Literature<\/em>
\nHaley Lehew<\/strong>, Biomedical Sciences<\/em>
\nEvan Rosato<\/strong>, Studio Art<\/em>
\nPaige Timmerman<\/strong>, Elementary Education<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
