ICB Graduate Fellowship Provides Support

“I think that Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó provides many rigorous graduate programs,” said Siyuan (Kelly) Rao, the first winner of the International College Beijing Graduate Fellowship. “The programs are fitting for ICB students who are looking to pursue graduate school.” The scholarship, which was launched eight years ago, provides $5,000 annually to an outstanding ICB student who chooses to pursue graduate studies at the University of Colorado Denver. A wide range of graduate programs are available, including applied mathematics, accounting, finance, risk management, public affairs, communications, economics, business, biostatistics, clinical science, and many other degree programs.
“I really enjoyed my academic life in Denver, both as a student and as a teaching assistant,” said Rao. “My enriched daily life in Denver definitely helped my further success in the workplace.”This year, there were no ICB undergraduates scheduled to graduate yet, so the $5,000 scholarship was split between four former ICB students who are already continuing their graduate studies at Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó. Two students are earning their doctorates in public administration and two are earning their masters in communication. Each student will receive $1,250 annually.
Welcome to Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó!
At the University of Colorado Denver, students are serious about their education. And when they’ve done well on that mid-term exam or ended their studies for the day, the Office of International Affairs and Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó provide many cultural, social, and recreational events for students to relax, unwind, and have a great time.
Life in Colorado
Teams in the Office of International, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó look forward to greeting students each semester and help them get settled on campus. Resources for pre-arrival planning about air travel, ground transportation to campus, housing, dining, cell phones, banking, and wellness are all available.
International students are also welcomed to campus with parties and activities to start their educational experience on a high note – games, meet-and- greet socializing events with other students, faculty, and staff, delicious international cuisine, and exciting indoor and outdoor events year-round, all in an atmosphere of pure Colorado fun.
“It’s great to welcome international students to the University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus each year; we’re really glad to have them here. The OIA team meets individually with each student to help them with immigration questions, academic advice, and ways to have positive cultural and educational experiences; we support them as they navigate through their first year, as well as throughout all of their semesters at Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó | CU Anschutz—and beyond.”
