Students Awarded Fellowships in Government and History

Five Woodberry Forest students have been awarded Grills Fellowship grants for the summer of 2017. The Grills Fellowship supports student summer work in government, public policy organizations, and public history sites.
 
Henry Dworkin ’20 will work with the New Hanover County, North Carolina, Human Resources Office; Drew Kwon ‘18 will serve at the Korean Cultural Center, Washington, DC; Charlie Moore ‘19 will do an internship with Congressman Joe Crowley of New York, Washington, DC; JangWoo Park ’19 will work at King Sejong Institute Foundation, Seoul, Korea; and Avery Warmack ’19 will participate in the Sorenson Institute for Political Leadership, University of Virginia.

“The program is now in its fourth year and has funded eighteen different projects,” notes Dr. Fred Jordan, history department chair and head of the selection committee. “It provides students with terrific opportunities to witness firsthand the policymaking process.” To apply for the grants, each student created the internship, initiated contact with the organization, and wrote a funding proposal.

The grants are made possible by the generosity of Joe and Marge Grills of Rapidan, Virginia. Mr. Grills is a former member of the Woodberry Forest School Board of Trustees.
