Economics Student a Finalist for Carnegie Fellowship
A student in the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business is one of 25 finalists nationwide for The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Junior Fellows Program.
Kjersten Adams, a Huntsman scholar and senior Honors student in economics, traveled to Washington, D.C., March 1 to interview for a one-year position in the think tank. She was one of more than 400 students who applied for the prestigious program.
“We are so very proud of Kjersten’s achievement,” said Honors Program Director Christie Fox. “Her accomplishment demonstrates the kind of education and experiences that Utah State University and the Honors Program provide to our students.”
The program offers up to ten one-year fellowships and students who are accepted have the opportunity to conduct research, participate in meetings with high-level officials, contribute to congressional testimony and co-author journal articles and policy papers, the organization’s website states.
Final notifications will be made March 31.
