Summer Fellowships
The Human Rights Center is committed to experiential learning that is vocationally-driven, connected to campus learning, and experienced in collective ways. HRC summer programming was designed in a cohorted way to ensure students were learning and reflecting together even if their fellowships were in different countries. All students also participated in numerous public forums so that others could learn from their experiences and research. For example, students typically write blogs as well as share their experiences through poster sessions and/or fireside chats during a Fellowship Showcase.
