This year, three students have been selected to receive a Boyd-Niles Student Travel Fellowship to help them pursue additional site visits during their time abroad. The three students are: Levi Atkinson ’19, Emily Schwartz ’19, and August Lindgren-Ruby ’20.
The Boyd-Niles Student Travel Fellowship honors two fantastic professors of medieval and Renaissance history at Carleton, Catherine Boyd and Philip Niles. Students who win this award receive up to $500 to assist in their pursuits of additional site visits that encourage a deeper understanding of the world between ca. 300 and ca. 1650, with a particular emphasis on Europe, the Mediterranean basin, and the broader Middle East. Fellowship recipients will present on their research and experiences upon their return to campus.
