March 24, 2023
One University of New Mexico student is joining the rare ranks of Fulbright recipients for the 2023-2024 academic year.
Latin American Studies master’s student Miguel Sabol just received a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) award to Brazil.
The Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers unparalleled opportunities in all academic disciplines to passionate and accomplished graduating college seniors, graduate students, and young professionals from all backgrounds. During their grants, Fulbrighters will meet, work, live with and learn from the people of the host country, sharing daily experiences. The program facilitates cultural exchange through direct interaction on an individual basis in the classroom, field, home, and in routine tasks.
Sabol says he has always had a passion for learning languages himself, and took on this challenge after receiving his Bachelor's of Arts in International Studies and Spanish from UNM. He also earned minors in Portuguese and Communication & Journalism with an Honors Distinction in International Studies in 2021.
