The following individuals on your campus are knowledgable about the CLS Program and can provide advice on the application process for you, and support through the process:

☆	Lindsay Lawton Director, Office of External Fellowships & Scholarships	Contact
	Orna Shaughnessy Assistant Professor of Japanese, Department of Languages and Literatures	Contact
☆	Rae Ann Bories-Easley Josef Korbel School, Director of the Office of Career and Professional Development	Contact

The CLS Program provides resources to help you prepare a competitive application with or without the help of an advisor.
