Twenty-nine students and recent alumni have been chosen for Fulbright awards this year, extending Dartmouth’s reach across the globe.
At least two others have been accepted into other programs that involve teaching or scholarship overseas.
Kristina Shea, a Guarini master's degree student in comparative literature, plans a Fulbright ETA in Belgium.
"Teaching in Belgium will allow me to explore how a multilingual environment shapes students' learning and understanding of their world while also improving my French, German, or Dutch skills, becoming a better teacher, and preparing for my future career as a PhD student and eventually professor of literature," Shea says. "I am eager to work in any region, and I would particularly value the opportunity to teach at multiple schools operating in different languages."
Zoey Lin ’26, a comparative literature major, will do an English teaching assistantship in Belgium.
“As a lifelong educator, I’ve learned the importance of fostering inclusive learning communities by valuing diverse perspectives, forging deep connections, and meeting people where they are—skills I’ll leverage as an English teaching assistant in Belgium,” Lin says.
“My passion for mentorship, honed through coaching debate, has prepared me to create supportive learning environments where students feel safe to take language risks. My ETA will also prepare me well to become an international human rights lawyer as I cultivate the skills necessary to bridge linguistic and cultural divides and build trust across borders—vital abilities for a career committed to global justice.”
