Winners of the Alcoa and URS – College of Engineering Study Abroad Fellowships have been announced for Summer 2014!

The college is very pleased to be able to respond to the increased demand for College of Engineering faculty-led study abroad programs with increased fellowship support this year.

The winners are:


Laurel Christian, Thuy Trieu, Will Hoskins, and Kelly Nicholas will be part of the group traveling to Innsbruck, Austria, with Dr. Glenn Tootle to study Water Resources and Climate in the European Alps.

On non-UT programs, Jessica Boles, Electrical Engineering, will be studying Spanish language and culture in Alicante, Spain, and Zoe Johnson, Chemical Engineering, will be taking general studies at the University of Adelaide, Australia.

All will be participating in the Outreach blog, so fellow students can share their experiences.
