Two OLPD graduate students receive Foreign Language and Area Studies fellowships

Michael Engh (M.A. program) and Anna Kaiper (Ph.D. program) have received Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships for Summer 2014. Both are graduate students in the comparative and international development education (CIDE) program track in the Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development (OLPD).

The FLAS Fellowships program provides allocations of academic year and summer fellowships to institutions of higher education or consortia of institutions of higher education to assist meritorious undergraduate students and graduate students undergoing training in modern foreign languages and related area or international studies.

Mike will be studying Chinese as part of his research on Chinese students’ international education experiences, and Anna will be studying Zulu to prepare for her doctoral research on post-apartheid curriculum reform in South Africa.
