36 wellesley in the world TANNER CONFERENCE EXHIBITION

The Tanner Exhibition provides students the opportunity to learn about Wellesley’s international study, internship, and fellowship programs. Faculty, staff, and student representatives from these programs will be available to speak and share information with students. International Study Every year approximately 250 Wellesley College students participate in international study programs in 40 countries. Thirty-eight percent of those who study internationally are enrolled in Wellesley College spon- sored programs, while the remainder attends programs sponsored by other institutions. Internships Wellesley College supports a large and diverse number of summer intern- ships and community service projects in the United States and around the world. This summer, 300 students participated in 52 internship programs in 35 countries. Fellowships Wellesley College offers fellowships for graduate study or research that are open to graduating seniors and Wellesley alumnae. Each year the College supports approximately 28 women in both national and international pro- grams of study or research. In addition, faculty committees assist candi- dates in applying for national fellowships such as the Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright, Truman, and Goldwater.
