Recipients of 2016 Summer Grants for Research and Internships in Europe and Eurasia as well as Islamic Studies Program Summer Fellowships will give brief and interactive presentations on their experiences. Topics covered will include the process of applying for the summer funding, undertaking specific research projects, and completing an internship in Europe. The session will conclude with a musical performance by one of our presenters, and an overview of WCEE and ISP fellowships and co-curricular opportunities.
