From the international halls of Parliament to global nonprofits, students participating in the University of California Education Abroad Program (UCEAP) transform their study abroad experiences into powerful career changes when they intern abroad. Recently, seven students from UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Los Angeles, UC Santa Barbara and UC Santa Cruz received awards celebrating their outstanding achievements and personal growth while interning abroad.
This award provides students up to $2,500 to learn about and advance LGBTQIA+ wellbeing and rights globally, including through international, USA-based, or virtual activity.
After representing more than 230,000 of her peers as UC Student Association president, Celene Aridin is ready to take her advocacy to the global stage. The 2024 UC Davis graduate joins an elite cadre of 150 scholars from around the world who will study China’s emerging role in global affairs at Tsinghua University in Beijing as a 2025 Schwarzman Scholar.
