The Institute of International Education, on behalf of the U.S. State Department, administers the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, which makes fellowships available to approximately 1,900 U.S. students annually to study, conduct research, teach English, or train in the creative arts in more than 140 countries worldwide. This national competition is administered on campus by the International Institute.

Join the International Institute for a meal and a workshop as we host Fulbright Administrative Official Michelle Bolourchi to learn about the Fulbright application process, and to discover what doors this experience can open for your future. We will be joined by special guest Chiamaka Ukachukwu - former Fulbright Fellow, current PhD candidate at U-M, and creator of Fulbright Noir - who will share her journey and what Fulbright has meant to her.

Fulbright provides an opportunity to build upon the college learning experience and continue down a path of your own choosing by going abroad. Whether your focus is pre-med, education, engineering, the arts, social work, or any other field around, there is a Fulbright for you. The University of Michigan is the highest producing public research university of Fulbright Fellows. Fulbright is a competitive fellowship, but the International Institute provides support and feedback through every step of the application process. Let this event be your first step on the road to Fulbright!

Food and refreshments will be available starting at 5:30 PM

PICS Film Screening. "Becoming Labrador" (February 5, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71821 71821-17888062@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 5, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Program in International and Comparative Studies

The Program in International and Comparative Studies (PICS) encourages students to explore Arctic regions and culture. PICS administers the Arctic Internship Fellowship which provides $2,000 funding for University of Michigan undergraduate students to complete internships that students secure from reputable organizations, to create independent student-designed research projects, or to participate in an approved study abroad program with a focus on the Arctic. Past fellowship recipients have traveled to the remote region of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador, Canada to participate in internship and research projects.

This event is co-sponsored by the Program in International and Comparative Studies Arctic Internship Fellowship and Center for Southeast Asian Studies.

About the film "Becoming Labrador":
In the stark Labrador interior, a growing number of Filipino workers have recently landed in the small regional hub of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, travelling halfway around the world for jobs they hope will offer their families new opportunities and a better life. "Becoming Labrador" follows a handful of those women and men as they make a place for themselves in Labrador’s profoundly foreign climate and culture, and deal with the unexpected costs of living far from parents, partners and children.

Combining documentary footage with interpretive animation, and bringing together the vision of three of Canada’s best young directors, "Becoming Labrador" is a remarkable feat of collaborative authorship. It offers an intimate account of the radical mobility and displacement of the modern world, and of how tenaciously people hold to their roots in the midst of fundamental change. Celebrating the ties that motivate and sustain the Filipino workers and their families, it also reveals a subtler love affair, as people from a tropical country find themselves falling for the North.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event, please reach out to us at is-michigan@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
