In the spring of 2020, Carrie Walker was an Eckerd College sophomore studying in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She was two and a half weeks into a five-month international education<\/a> and exchange program when the pandemic struck.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Some of her friends signed waivers to remain in the country, but when a family friend of a fellow student who works for the Centers for Disease Control told her she might have to remain in Argentina indefinitely, she bought a plane ticket the next day and caught what turned out to be one of the last direct flights to the United States before travel was shut down.<\/p>\n

Now she\u2019s going back, hopefully for a longer stay.<\/p>\n

Carrie, a senior from Loveland, Colorado, was accepted recently into the prestigious Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Program<\/a> and will live and work in Argentina for nine months next year. The program places recent college graduates and young professionals as English teaching assistants in universities abroad. The goal is to improve foreign students\u2019 English language abilities and knowledge of the United States while serving as cultural ambassadors for the U.S. The programs last from six months to a year and are administered by the U.S. Department of State.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t want to give up my study abroad experience and something I\u2019ve been dreaming of for so long,\u201d Carrie says. \u201cI [had] expected to spend a significant amount of time in Argentina, but I did not. I wanted to get that opportunity back. The Fulbright Program is an excellent program for doing that. It helps increase your understanding of another culture. I didn\u2019t really get that the first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is my second chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

A member of Phi Beta Kappa<\/a> and a Ford Apprentice Scholar<\/a>, Carrie is studying international relations and global affairs<\/a>, Spanish<\/a>, and Latin American studies. She is chair of the Chapter of Florida PIRG Students at Eckerd College<\/a> and president of Engage EC, a student-alumni networking club; she works as an office assistant in the Eckerd Advancement Office; she\u2019s writing her senior thesis; and she runs a small business\u2014selling on Instagram clothes that she crochets. She recently took the LSAT exam for prospective law school students and scored in the 97th percentile.<\/p>\n

Michael Burch, Ph.D.<\/a>, associate professor of political science<\/a> at Eckerd, easily recalls Carrie\u2019s sophomore year. He is Carrie\u2019s sponsor for the Ford program and for her senior thesis project.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”48″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]Two years ago, Carrie was taking one of his upper-level courses. \u201cShe\u2019s surrounded by all these seniors, and yet her insights, her commentary and her written work [were] at an incredibly advanced level,\u201d Burch says.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cYou don\u2019t meet students like this very often.

She is incredibly diligent, conscientious and thoughtful, and the result is getting the Fulbright.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For now, Carrie\u2019s focus is on teaching. She has a wealth of experience, not only from helping her mother, who is a high school English teacher, but from working in public schools. She ran an after-school program when she was in high school, and more recently, she was a tutor at Morgan Fitzgerald Middle School in St. Petersburg.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talked about what a good opportunity this would be for her,\u201d says Kathleen \u201cKat\u201d Robinson, Ph.D., assistant dean of faculty and former fellowship and scholarship advisor at Eckerd. \u201cShe dedicated herself to the application, and her argument comes through about how education is the great equalizer.
