Fellowship Travels. Tanner Conference Presentation (panel). October 24, 2006, Wellesley College. Panelists are recipients of the Luce Scholarship, Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, Jack Kent Cooke Graduate Scholarship with a Truman Scholar and a Marshall Scholar. A fellowship brings more than a period of intense learning and adventure. Its effects will reach into the future and transform one’s plans in subtle and significant ways.

These women describe their fellowship years earning the MPhil in International Relations at Oxford University, investigating energy technologies around the world that might alleviate poverty in developing countries, and studying labor dispute resolution and the impact of genocide on development in Cambodia.
