What is CALS Global Fellows 2.0?
CALS Global Fellows 2.0 is the evolved version of our renowned program, designed to offer even greater opportunities for students from diverse departments within the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences.

How to Be a CALS Global Fellow 2.0
Becoming a CALS Global Fellow 2.0 is a four-step journey that combines academic rigor with practical experience:
Step 1: Engaged Experience/Internship
Undertake an 8-week engaged experience or internship that aligns with the learning objectives of your major. This experience can be either international or domestic, offering you the chance to explore different corners of the world or gain valuable insights right here at home. Opportunities may include internships connected to CALS, which we promote and coordinate through the CU Experience system, or internships you secure independently.
Step 2: Pre-Departure Workshop
Prepare for your adventure by attending a pre-departure workshop in May. This workshop will equip you with essential knowledge about health, safety, and workplace etiquette, ensuring a smooth and secure transition into your experience.
Step 3: Post-Departure Course
Enroll in the 1-credit ALS/GDEV 3105 Post-Departure course upon your return. This course will provide a platform for reflection and learning, allowing you to synthesize your experiences and academic studies.
Step 4: CALS GF Symposium
Participate in the CALS Global Fellows Symposium, where you'll have the opportunity to showcase your experiences, engage in meaningful discussions, and connect with peers who share your passion for global exploration.
