Two College of Charleston students have earned nationally competitive awards that will help fund their graduate studies abroad. Chelsea Roland and Ellie Flock have each been awarded Rotary Ambassadorial Global Grants. These grants are sponsored by the regional Rotary Club district and are intended for students who will pursue advanced degrees leading to sustainable, high-impact outcomes in one or more of Rotary’s six areas of focus: peace and conflict prevention/resolution, disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education and literacy, and economic and community development.
Flock, a senior Honors College student and public health major, was recently accepted to King’s College London to pursue a master of science in global health with a concentration in conflict and security. After a year in the program, Flock plans to work with an international organization in the global health field like the World Health Organization, Partners in Health, or the United States Agency for International Development. In the long term, she plans to become a university professor or a health policymaker.
