Dalai Lama Fellows
INFORMATION SESSION FOR APPLICANTS
What would YOU do to change the world?
Find out how you can be a Dalai Lama Fellow! Applications are due Nov. 2nd!
Come listen to Marlene Morgan, a Princeton senior, share her experiences as a Dalai Lama Fellow. Marlene's project is an extension of research she performed in 2011, while working for the Black Mesa Water Coalition, a local citizen-sector organization focusing on employment alternatives to coal mining – a dominant yet unsustainable and environmentally damaging form of economic security on Navajo Nation. Marlene explored ways to create a cast-off wool industry on Navajo Nation as an economically viable alternative to coal mining.
