Villanova English Major Meg Carter wins Fulbright Award to Spain

Many congratulations to graduating English major Meg Carter, who has won a Fulbright award to work as a teaching assistant Galicia, Spain.

Fulbright English Teaching Assistants provide part-time assistance to permanent teaching staff at secondary schools, and in a few cases elementary schools and formación profesional schools (vocational training), in English language classes and in other subjects taught in English (such as social studies, science and technology, art, or physical education), for 16 fifty-minute (approximately) class periods per week. 

Meg said: "As an English and Spanish double major, I am thrilled to be an English Teaching Assistant in Spain. I look forward to sharing my love of language with my students as they learn and practice English. 

"While in Galicia, I hope to further my understanding of Spain’s cultural and linguistic diversity by improving my Spanish-speaking skills and learning Galician (Galego), which is one of Galicia’s co-official languages.

"I will also be taking on a community engagement project that cultivates cross-cultural learning between the United States and Spain. In my application, I proposed a theatre workshop focusing on American playwrights and plays, and a pen-pal program, though these projects have not been officially confirmed yet."

Villanova English Majors lead Fridays for Future Demonstration

English majors took part in a global student activist movement for the second time this semester when Corina Scott, Alex Forgione, and Molly Bonini led their peers in a "Fridays for Future" demonstration Friday April 12 at the Oreo.

Inspired by Swedish teen Greta Thunberg's example, the students gathered to follow up on their March 15 walkout and march, when they demanded that Villanova do more to fight climate change. They have asked the administration to move the university's carbon neutral date from 2050 to 2030 and to enter into a power purchase agreement for renewable energy by 2020. 

The students covered the Oreo with an image of the earth that displayed their hashtag, #SustainNova, distributed water bottles, and made videos of Villanovans saying why sustainability is important.  They plan to compile the interviews into a video to send to Fr. Peter Donohue.

Pictured below are Corina Scott (English major) and Yvonne Nguyen (Peace and Justice major), with Alex Forgione (English major) in the background to the left.
