LAURA MYERS SSW ’04 WINS 2004 HUMAN RIGHTS
FELLOWSHIPS
One of three recipients of Third Millennium
Foundation Award
CUSSW recent graduate Laura Myers ’04 was named one of three
winners of the Third Millennium Foundation Human Rights Fellowships.
The Center for the Study of Human Rights chooses three graduating
Columbia University students annually to receive the fellowships.
The Fellowship provides each student with $27,000, which
funds each student to complete two 6-month internships at
human rights organizations – one in a developing country,
the other in an industrialized country. This is the first
year the Third Millennium Foundation Awards have been granted
at Columbia University.
Laura Myers plans to work in London and later South Africa.
She will explore the application of creative education techniques
and drama to anti-violence and HIV training. The Third Millennium
Foundation is a private foundation whose mission is to support
initiatives that promote tolerance, particularly among the
young. Laura Myers and the other Columbia Third Millennium
Fellows will meet Third Millennium Fellows from other universities
across the nation later in the year.
Congratulations Laura!
