After 8 weeks in Buenos Aires last year through the Berkeley Global Internships Program, recent Comparative Literature Graduate Lexi DeHart knew she wanted to return to Argentina for a longer period of time. She applied for a Fulbright grant while still completing her internship. As a Fulbright ETA (English Teaching Assistant) in Argentina, Lexi will spend 10 months living and working in the city of Bahia Blanca, which is in the province of Buenos Aires, about 800km South of the City of BSAS. Lexi will be an assistant English teacher at El Universidad Nacional del Sur, teaching English as a foreign language. Aside from her responsibilities as a teacher, she will also be expected to undertake a side project for her students, and she is hoping to share her passion for mahjong. Lexi also plans to lead community service efforts, inspired by her time working with Mensajeros de la Paz, a nonprofit in Buenos Aires, during her Berkeley Global Internship experience.
