Centre College alum Kade Schooling ’26 has earned a prestigious Fulbright U.S. Student Award and is headed to Taipei Medical University in Taiwan to pursue graduate research on the mind, brain, and consciousness.

From combining Chinese and behavioral neuroscience to drawing strength from a “village” of mentors and the Bonner Program, Kade’s journey is a powerful example of interdisciplinary learning, service, and global impact.

4 Days Until SLI 2026!

We’re counting down to “Bonner on the Banks: United in Purpose, Navigating Currents of Change” — and Monday is packed with opportunities to learn, connect, and have fun.

Start your morning with one of our elective workshop sessions, where you can explore topics like that will help you build stronger community through family groups, explore community-engaged teaching as a retention strategy, and identify career pathways shaped by service.

Then, meet national partners from across the Bonner Network at the Networking Fair. Learn more about the guaranteed scholarships for grad school program, summer internship opportunities or potential job opportunities too! Bring your resume if you have one — and if you don’t, no worries. Staff and alumni will be there for resume reviews and to help you get started.

The networking continues beyond the fair with Bonner Alumni speakers sharing their post-grad pathways and offering real advice on steps you can take now as a Bonner.

And to end the day? An all-inclusive evening at Rutgers’ Werblin Recreation Center — pool time, music, crafts, board games, and pickup sports, all in one place.

We can’t wait to welcome you — it all kicks off Sunday, June 7th at Rutgers University–New Brunswick!
