Students and Alumni
Connecting current and former GS students: Sean Watkins, a Global Studies major who graduated in 2006, is spearheading an effort to build a network of current and former Global Studies students. As we near the ten-year mark of the department, now is a good time for this initiative. Our graduates are doing all sorts of interesting things, and our current students could benefit enormously from being in touch with these alumni. If you’re interested in joining this new Global Studies network, just send an email to Sean. Or, if you prefer, you can find us on Facebook (which, coincidentally or not, was the topic of Sean’s GS honors thesis). Thanks - and spread the word!
GS students honored with fellowships: Five Global Studies majors have been awarded fellowships to pursue their research during the coming months under the auspices of the St. Lawrence University Fellows program and the Tanner Fellowship program.

In addition to carrying out their research, Cutler and Hamid will be contributing content to the Weave as part of their projects. Congratulations to all five students on receiving these prestigious fellowships!
