The Wentworth Travel Fellowship Showcase is a celebration of discovery, research, and global exploration. Hosted by the English Department and UNCW Library, this event highlights the transformative experiences of Wentworth Travel Fellows as they share their projects through research posters coordinated with CSURF and engage in an informal Q&A session. Fellows will discuss how their travels enriched their academic studies and personal growth.
Whether you're curious about the program, considering applying in the future, or simply want to hear incredible stories of learning across the world, this is an event you won’t want to miss! Join us on April 23 from 3:00 – 5:00 PM in the Sherman Hayes Gallery, UNCW Library (Randall Hall, 1st Floor) to celebrate and be inspired.

Overview: The Wentworth Travel Fellowship, a gift of Mr. Charles F. Green III, was established in 2001 to enable a select number of students to travel to sites, in America or abroad, associated with literary authors and texts. Each year, students work with faculty sponsors to submit applications detailing journeys inspired by and connected with a specific text, author, or movement in an effort to explore the relationship of artistic production to geographic space.
Most of these trips will take place during holiday break, spring break, or over the summer and must be completed prior to the student's graduation.
In the past, Wentworth Fellows have traveled to places as diverse as Paris, San Francisco, Oxford, Berlin, Prince Edward Island, and Providence, Rhode Island. There are no restrictions (except for those put in place by the State Department) on where a student can go on a Wentworth Travel Fellowship.
The Wentworth Travel Fellowship is open to English majors and minors in the Literary and Cultural Studies Track, Professional Writing Track, and Teacher Licensure Track, as well as English MA students
