Caitlin Donovan, a senior English/ Medieval and Early Modern Studies double major, has been awarded the Fulbright Scholarship to teach in South Korea during the 2011-2012 academic year before attending graduate school at Stanford. Her experience will focus on cultural exchange and teaching English to high school students.
The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to “increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.” With this goal as a starting point, the Fulbright Program has provided almost 300,000 participants—chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential — with the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns.
Caitlin is a UNC Teaching Fellow and Public Service Scholar. She recently wrote and successfully defended her Honors thesis with Dr. Jessica Wolfe titled, "Britomart's Mind: Reading and Thinking as Disambiguating Arts in Edmund Spenser's 1590 Faerie Queene." Caitlin will graduate Phi Beta Kappa and with highest distinction in May 2011.
