On top of recently receiving a Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR) Samuel Flagg Bemis Dissertation Research Grant, UConn History PhD student Megan Streit can add another honor to her already impressive list of accomplishments: the Critical Language Scholarship (CLS). Out of a national field of applicants, Megan was chosen to participate in CLS’s Azerbaijani program. The CLS program is an eight-week immersive language program where students obtain beginning, advanced beginning, intermediate, or advanced training in fifteen languages that are critical to America’s national security and economic prosperity. The CLS program is housed within the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Congratulations, Megan, on this latest, incredible honor. Well done, and keep up the great work. You make UConn History proud!
