Honors student wins highly competitive graduate fellowship

As a child, UNC Charlotte senior Betsabe Rojas Gonzalez bridged language and culture gaps for her immigrant parents and neighbors using a secondhand English-to-Spanish dictionary picked up at a Goodwill store. Later, as a first-generation college student, she connected Latino immigrant community members with resources in Charlotte. Now, she is one of the first UNC Charlotte students or alumni ever chosen for the highly competitive Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Program graduate fellowship.

    Do I need to participate in re-entry testing?

    • If you are unvaccinated, you will need to participate in re-entry and mitigation testing, as you may have last semester. 
    • If you are vaccinated and eligible for a booster but have not received one, you must participate in re-entry testing and ongoing mitigation testing until a booster shot is received. If you have received your booster, please submit that documentation as soon as possible so we may remove you from the testing pool.
