Brown International Scholars Program 2012
The Brown International Scholars Program provides an opportunity for undergraduate students to make international studies an integral part of their Brown curriculum through research, public service, or other independently designed projects. The program, created and funded by the Office for International Affairs, creates an enhanced context for students to explore the challenges and opportunities of international engagement through reflection and dialogue with a community of scholars, faculty mentors, and practitioners. The program is managed by the Howard R. Swearer Center for Public Service as part of its commitment to supporting public scholarship.
