Get to know OFSP students and alumni! We have
several students who are either national
fellowship winners or are Carolina and
McNair scholars who are documenting their
experiences while traveling abroad on
scholarship or while they are doing unique
activities on campus through student blogs.
Keep up-to-date on each of the OFSP
bloggers' many
adventures and learn what life is really
like! If you enjoy reading each student's
post, leave them a comment or ask them a
question about their experience.
