The university also plans “Speaking Across Conflicts” workshops as well as programs for student internships and teaching fellowships that focus on effective dialogue.

Here, Paik said, it is important for institutions to grant fellowships or have individuals who will fund and support intellectuals pursuing research.

The university supplements state grants and private scholarships with such resources as university legal aid and fellowships that offer hands-on learning with grants of up to $7,200.

“It’s been fun,” said Brown, who described it as “a sisterhood, a fellowship.”

Wicks said she supports state funding for UC Berkeley’s news fellowship and is open to extending an opportunity for the university to join the fund’s governing board.
