This year the UC system, with assistance from the Blum Network, partnered with CARE USA for a pilot graduate fellowship that both supports the graduate research of UC students working to address poverty and inequality in California and internationally, and harness that research to improve local poverty alleviation efforts led by CARE USA.
Two UCSB students received this fellowship, Monica Cornejo, Project Title: Undocumented Immigrants’ Stress, Coping, and Resilience during COVID-19, and Jonathan Ibarra, Project Title: The Role of Family in the Latinx Youth Reentry Process. Over the course of this year, the CARE-UC Fellows will receive training and experience from CARE and a summer in-country placement that pairs their proposed research with on-the-ground development efforts.
