Twelve CC students have been named Fulbright semifinalists. This year\u2019s number of Fulbright U.S. Student Program semifinalists ties CC\u2019s record, which was first set in 2019 and matched in 2021. Additionally, this is the first time in CC\u2019s history that all applicants for Fulbright\u2019s research award have advanced to the semifinalist stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat so many of CC’s applicants have advanced to semifinalist status this year speaks to the hard work of these students and alums, and of the staff and faculty that support them,\u201d says Roy Jo Sartin, Writing Center Specialist and CC\u2019s Fulbright adviser since 2015.<\/p>\n

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers three post-graduate opportunities<\/a>: research, study, and English Teaching Assistant.<\/p>\n

CC alum Zivia Berkowitz \u201921 is one of nine women that made up the Above the Clouds Kilimanjaro 2024 Expedition Team<\/a>. This group of all-Black women set off on January 3, 2024 to pursue the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro, a dormant volcano in Tanzania with a height more than 19,000 feet above sea level. Kilimanjaro, Africa\u2019s tallest mountain, is prized in the hiking and climbing world as one of Earth\u2019s seven great summits.<\/p>\n

\u201cClimbing Kilimanjaro is something I\u2019ve wanted to do since I was a teenager,\u201d Berkowitz says. \u201cMy mom is from Kenya and I visited the area a few times to see family. I saw the mountain a lot and thought, maybe someday. When this opportunity came up with this team, I was like, of course!\u201d<\/p>\n

Berkowitz also speaks to the significance of the mountain and this trek to the entire team. \u201cGiven the demographics of our group and what we\u2019re trying to center, it\u2019s important. We all have connections to the African diaspora. This trip will combine our personal identities and backgrounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Above the Clouds Kilimanjaro is a venture by Full Circle Expeditions Inc., the company who ran the Full Circle Everest<\/a> trek in 2022. It was the first all-Black climbing team to summit Mt. Everest.<\/p>\n

Denise Geronimo \u201924 has been awarded the 2024 Rangel Graduate Fellowship, receiving two years of fully-funded graduate school and five years of guaranteed work in the foreign service. <\/p>\n

Upon the successful completion of the Rangel Graduate Fellowship<\/a>, Geronimo will become a U.S. Department of State Foreign Service Officer, where she will represent the U.S. and its interests, both domestically and around the world.  <\/p>\n

\u201cIn my almost 20 years at CC, we\u2019ve had a lot of Rangel Fellowship applicants, but I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve had a winner until Denise,\u201d says Gretchen Wardell, Student Success Specialist and Pre-Law Advisor. \u201cDenise has worked hard for this fellowship as evidenced by her classes and summer experiences. She is really excited to serve her country and fellow Americans and I couldn\u2019t be more proud!\u201d<\/p>\n

Somewhere in Philadelphia, Elliot, a Puerto Rican veteran of the Iraq war, has returned home and is struggling to find his place in the world. Somewhere in an online chat room, recovering addicts forge an unbreakable bond of support and love. The boundaries of family and community are stretched across continents and cyberspace as birth families splinter and online families collide. This Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Quiara Alegr\u00eda Hudes (In the Heights<\/em>) is a heartfelt meditation on lives on the brink of redemption, and challenges our notions of family, forgiveness, community, and courage.<\/p>\n

Water by the Spoonful<\/em><\/a> runs Thursday, Feb. 15-Sunday, Mar. 3. CC students can purchase rush tickets the day of the performance for $15 or get a FREE rush ticket 1 hour before the performance! CC staff and faculty can purchase rush tickets the day of the performance for $30. Tickets subject to availability; must purchase in person at the FAC front desk and present a CC Gold Card.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
