This Thursday, September 20, at 2:00 PM in BAT 5.108, we are having an informational session about Study Abroad that will be specifically geared to the needs of Government majors and minors! If you are interested in Study Abroad for GOV credits– whether you’re just starting to think about it or planning on applying, please come and join us.

The Director of George J. Mitchell Scholars Program, Anne Glusker, will be visiting our campus on Monday, April 9th. She will be holding an information meeting about the Mitchell Scholarship from 4:00 to 5:15 pm in Mezes 0.306. I very much hope you will be able to attend.
Here is Director Glusker’s short description of the Mitchell Scholarship. U.T. Austin has had one Mitchell Scholarship since the scholarship program began some twelve years ago. We need more!
“The Mitchell Scholarship is awarded annually to 12 American future leaders. The Scholarship (named for former US Senator George J. Mitchell who helped broker the peace process in Northern Ireland) provides for a year of postgraduate study in any field at a university in Ireland or Northern Ireland. The criteria for selection are threefold:
1) academic excellence, but we do not have a formal GPA cut-off, so if you have a 3.5 or 3.6, don’t rule yourself out!
2) a sustained commitment to public service
3) a proven record of leadership
You only have to be a college graduate and under age 30 to apply!
The Mitchell is a great experience — Mitchells form tight bonds that last a lifetime and the Mitchell staff helps arrange internships while you’re in Ireland/Northern Ireland, arranges trips and events during the academic year, and helps with post-Mitchell career planning. Personal attention is our watchword!
Come hear Mitchell director Anne Glusker share her enthusiasm for the Mitchell, Ireland, and Northern Ireland!”
