Bonderman Info Session (CGIS Office)

Thursday, December 8, 2016
5:00-5:30 PM
CGIS Office, G155 Angell Hall Map
The Bonderman Fellowship offers graduating LSA seniors $20,000 to travel the world. They must travel to 6 countries in 2 regions over the course of 8 months and are expected to immerse themselves in independent and enriching explorations. Bonderman Fellows engage with cultures, people, and areas of the world with which they are not familiar, providing them the opportunity to develop entirely new perspectives.

UM is one of only two schools—along with the University of Washington—to offer the Bonderman award. David Bonderman traveled internationally as a Sheldon Fellow after graduating from Harvard Law School in the 1960s, and that experience shaped the rest of his life. He created the Bonderman Travel Fellowship in 1995 to provide students with a similar opportunity. Fellows make their own travel itineraries and, because this is meant to be an individual experience, cannot engage in formal study at a foreign university, conduct formal research, or travel with a guest or organized group.

Pizza and other refreshments will be served at all Bonderman info sessions.

The Bonderman info sessions in the CGIS office are back-to-back sessions without additional time for questions after the allotted 30 minutes.
