Katie Sullivan ’21 has been awarded a prestigious Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship and will spend the 2025–26 academic year in Taitung, Taiwan—a place that first captured her heart during a 2023 study abroad experience through ROTC’s Project Global Officer.
A Chinese and international affairs double major from Norfolk, Va., Katie is passionate about language, culture, and service. In Taiwan, she hopes to connect with students in one of the country’s most rural and indigenous regions, start an extracurricular like Girls on the Run, and maybe even learn to surf 🌊.
“To be in a foreign country for 11 months — to have that opportunity — is an incredible privilege, but my number one priority will be the kids and giving them the best experience possible,” Sullivan said.
We’re proud to call her an Oak and Wofford’s 21st Fulbright recipient! Way to go, Katie!
