Only in Monterey can undergraduates spend their days learning from the world’s top experts in nonproliferation and then catch sunset at the beach.
只有在蒙特雷,本科生们才能在世界顶级防扩散专家的指导下学习,然后在海滩上欣赏日落。
“It’s a unique program,” said Masako Toki, senior education project manager and research associate with the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS). “We are living in a time of escalating nuclear threats. It is critical that we develop and support the next generation of professionals working to advance peace.”
詹姆斯·马丁防扩散研究中心(CNS)高级教育项目经理兼研究助理 Masako Toki 说:“这是一个独特的项目。我们生活在一个核威胁不断升级的时代。我们必须培养和支持下一代致力于促进和平的专业人员。”
Each year, 12 undergraduates from across the country are selected from among hundreds of applicants for the Summer Nonproliferation Undergraduate Fellowship at CNS. CNS is the largest nongovernmental organization in the world devoted to curbing the spread of weapons of mass destruction and is based at the Middlebury Institute in Monterey, California, with offices in Washington, D.C., and Vienna, Austria.
每年,来自全美各地的 12 名本科生从数百名申请者中脱颖而出,获得 CNS 的暑期防扩散本科生奖学金。CNS 是全球最大的致力于遏制大规模杀伤性武器扩散的非政府组织,总部设在加利福尼亚州蒙特雷的明德学院,在华盛顿特区和奥地利维也纳设有办事处。
During the summer program, participants attend lectures with nonproliferation experts and get training and mentorship as they conduct their own research on issues related to the spread and control of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), including nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, and regional security issues in the former Soviet Union, Eurasia, East Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East. Fellows also learn about AI and nonproliferation, and open-source tools for nonproliferation.
在暑期项目中,学员们将参加防扩散专家的讲座,开展各自防止大规模杀伤性武器(WMD)扩散与控制相关议题的研究,这些议题涵盖核武器、化学武器和生物武器以及前苏联、欧亚地区、东亚、南亚和中东的地区安全问题,并在此过程中获得专家培训和指导。学员们还将学习人工智能应用于防扩散的知识,以及各种防扩散的开源工具。
“I’ve done several other internship programs and this has been the best one by far for my future career,” said Holly Dickison, an undergraduate at Smith College.
史密斯学院的本科生霍莉·迪克森说:“我参加过几个其他的实习项目,而这一项目无疑是对我未来职业发展最有帮助的。”
Participants were particularly excited about the accessibility of experts and the chance to dive into the complexities and nuances of international relations.
学员们非常兴奋能接触到专家,并有机会深入探讨国际关系的复杂性与细微差别。
This year’s program was funded by the Tom and Sarah Pattison Fund, the Middlebury College Provost’s Office, and the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
今年的项目由汤姆和萨拉·帕特森基金会(Tom and Sarah Pattison Fund)、明德学院教务长办公室(Middlebury College Provost’s Office)和纽约卡内基公司(Carnegie Corporation of New York)资助。

Donors Sarah and Tom Pattison attended the students’ final research presentations.
捐赠人萨拉·帕蒂森(Sarah Pattison)和汤姆·帕蒂森(Tom Pattison)出席了学生们最后的研究报告会。
“Our generation has left a lot of challenges for your generation,” said Tom Pattison, who compared nonproliferation work to his experience as a doctor trying to get his patients to quit smoking. “The work we do in preventing conflict saves so many lives, and it’s hard work because you don’t get credit for prevention.”
汤姆·帕蒂森说:“我们这一代人给你们这一代人留下了很多挑战,”他将防扩散工作比作自己作为医生试图让患者戒烟的经历。“我们在预防冲突方面所做的工作拯救了无数生命,这是一项艰难的工作,因为你无法因为预防工作获得应有的认可。”
“You had a lot of choices of what to do this summer,” said Sarah Pattison. “Thank you for choosing to do something to bring peace to the world.”
莎拉·帕蒂森说:“这个暑假你们有很多选择”。“感谢你们选择为世界和平做出贡献。”
