The Magellan Project 2018

The Magellan Project 2018:

The Magellan Project is a unique experience offered by W&J, allowing students to study anything, anywhere! Last summer I studied the effects of animal sanctuaries and how the Australia and NZ act to conserve different ecosystems. This summer I traveled to Thailand to volunteer at an animal rescue center and elephant sanctuary, "Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand." The project is designed to provide students with a scholarship they are awardee after presenting their idea to the school and then traveling either abroad or in the country by themselves. The topic of study can be either a passion or realted to the student’s major. When applying for a Magellan, the student must be certain criteria such as a certain GPA, having research on the topic, a budget, and all travel plans included. The application process starts in the fall and the students find out in the spring around March.
