International Scholars - Alumni

Since its inauguration in 2003, the International Scholars Program has connected undergraduate students to Kellogg faculty fellows providing unique opportunities for undergraduates to gain research skills while offering much needed assistance to faculty. Developed by Professor Frances Hagopian, the program seeks to engage undergraduates more deeply into the research life of the Institute and the University than the typical classroom experience.

Students participating in the International Scholars Program have made the most of their time at Notre Dame. They often study and speak multiple languages and participate in more than one Notre Dame program to study, intern, participate in service or conduct research abroad during the summer and/or academic year. Several have presented at conferences as well as published their work. In the first five years of the program, two were valedictorians.

Alumni With over 40 alumni, former International Scholars can be found in jobs around the country as well as around the globe.
