Perreault Fellows
Our Program
The Perreault Fellows Program is a competitive global leadership and internship program that prepares students from multiple disciplines for personal and professional excellence through learning in cross-cultural leadership, ethics, service, personal-mentoring, and an internship abroad related to the field of health and human well-being.
Each year the program seeks to enroll a diverse group of Penn State undergraduates in a 2-year, co-curricular program, the centerpiece of which is an internship abroad during the summer between the third and fourth year.
The program prepares students for global leadership through participation in the intercultural learning opportunities, a workshop through the Rock Ethics Institute, mandatory service, and a presentation on their learning outcomes to the Provost’s Global Advisory Council.
