A co-curricular learning experience from the ICUE initiative at the Barefield College of Arts & Sciences
The ICUE Fellowship is rooted in experiential learning—bringing together international programs, community engagement, undergraduate research, and externship/internship opportunities.
The ICUE Fellowship is a yearlong program for undergraduate and graduate students in the Barefield College of Arts & Sciences who are interested or engaged in research, internships, or community-based learning. Fellows gain hands-on experience and develop essential skills through:

✅ Networking events
And so much more!
Students who complete the program also receive a Certificate of Recognition, highlighting their achievements and skills for resumes, LinkedIn, and graduate/professional applications.
