Karl Minges, a 2007 graduate of Marist College and MART member from Madison, CT, has been awarded a prestigious Fulbright Grant to conduct research evaluating Australia's Diabetic Health Promotion Program. Minges became interested in his research topic while at Marist when, during the summer between his junior and senior years, he held an internship at the International Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, Australia.
In addition to his Australian internship, Minges completed internships with a doctor of osteopathy and a psychiatrist. He is currently completing a Masters in Public Health degree from Columbia University. Following his Fulbright year, he intends to pursue either a medical or doctoral degree in clinical psychology.
Minges majored in Social Work and completed minors in Biology, Spanish, and Sociology. A member of the Alpha Phi Delta fraternity, he was named to the Dean's List every semester of his studies at Marist and graduated magna cum laude.
The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State. Grant recipients are selected based on their academic merit and leadership potential in order to increase mutual understanding between people of the U.S. and of other countries.
