Conway to Award First Bird International Service Fellowships
 
Thanks to the generosity of David Bird's family, we are pleased to announce that
the first David Bird International Service Fellowships will be
awarded at the Conway graduation on June 27, 2009.
Two graduates of the Conway Design School have been notified they
will be headed to Panama this summer as the the first recipients.
Alicia Batista '07, of New York City, and Kyle Haley '09, of Golden,
Colorado, were selected by an international committee made up of
graduates, trustees, and friends of the Conway School. The school's
original plan was to appoint just one Fellow this first year, but
because of the strong applications—and
because of renewed support from major donors—it
became possible to make two appointments for 2009-2010. Each Fellow
will receive a $5000 stipend.

The David Bird International Service Fellowship was established
to provide opportunities for recent Conway graduates to further
develop their design and planning skills by undertaking public
service projects outside the United States; engage and support
agencies and public service non-governmental organizations in such
projects; and enhance Conway’s graduate program and benefit current
students by having returning Bird Fellows in residence at Conway.
