Jasmin Elizalde and Malea Burns<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
Two students who attended the Global Career Forum in the fall came away with more than valuable job information. Jasmin Elizalde, a junior, and Malea Burns, a senior, were each awarded a $2,500 travel abroad scholarship to cover program expenses.\u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to study abroad, I just didn\u2019t know how I was going to get the money or if I was going to be able to have the opportunity,\u201d said Elizalde, who is considering France for her travels. \u201cGetting this award really gives me a chance to explore that option.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Burns, whose appetite for travel was whetted during a summer trip to Spain led by Maria Montes\u00f3, senior instructor of Spanish, the award is a chance to keep building her Spanish skills. \u201cI feel like this is the opportunity I really needed to help with my Spanish major,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Five other students received grants to cover the cost of a passport. The awards were a new feature of the Global Career Forum this year, and were made possible by event sponsors whose representatives led roundtable discussions with students and provided information about the companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
