The Application: Due by 12:00 pm (noon) January 13, 2020. In person and online information session information can be seen here.

Where would you go if you had eight months to travel solo? Which two continents and six countries would you visit? What experiences would you seek out? How would you be transformed?
Each year a handful of lucky University of Washington students get to make those decisions as they embark on the adventure of a lifetime with the support of a Bonderman Fellowship. The 2020 application is open and you may be eligible to apply for this $23,000 fellowship that supports independent exploration and travel abroad.

Each Fellowship carries a $23,000 award to be used only for extended solo international travel. Fellows may not conduct research, pursue an academic project, or participate in a formal program or organization.

More information and the application can be found at bonderman.uw.edu, but please review the eligibility requirements to see if you may apply.

Eligibility:
All applicants must be enrolled (for graduate students: “on leave” status is not considered enrolled) and in good standing at the UW during the quarter the application is due (Winter 2020) and must hold US citizenship or permanent resident status. Good standing in this regard refers not only to academic but also disciplinary and conduct standing. Additionally:

GRADUATE/PROFESSIONAL STUDENTS: All students in graduate or professional degree programs are eligible to apply.

The Master of Jurisprudence degree is a one-year program that is both an introduction to law in general and a specialization in specific legal interests.  The M.J. program aims to enhance participants careers with a deeper understanding and knowledge of legal issues in their field, building on their qualifications in many different professional arenas. As a field, law has been largely limited to lawyers; however, one of the driving strengths of this program is that it opens the field of law to all backgrounds, careers, and aspirations.  Law is increasingly applicable to a huge range of work that does not require a J.D. but does require a foundational understanding of law.  Some examples include: policy (in human resources, in social justice advocacy, in politics, and etc.), regulations (in environmental work, in employment, in technology, etc.), and business (in finance, in corporate governance, in securities, etc.).  For students who are interested in working in law-adjacent areas, we would love to invite them to our info session to meet our director, core faculty, and current students.

 

 

One of the featured speakers for this free, three-hour training is Ron Jackson.  The course is designed for inter-professional education (IPE) students, and is highly relevant for social workers and CDPs, etc., and those who are focusing on treating substance abuse disorders (and CODs), and opioid use disorder specifically.

This particular training was designed expressly for a mostly UW /Puget Sound area IPE audience and is co-sponsored by WWAMI AHEC and the Northwest Addiction Technology Transfer Center (Northwest ATTC). As you may know, the NWATTC is located at the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute.
