Dessane Cassell '14 (pictured at the Allen Memorial Art Museum) an art history major with a minor in Africana studies, will be teaching English in South Africa, thanks to a Fulbright Scholarship. While she might be far from campus, she's in good company with her schoolmates: each year, a number of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ students receive awards that allow them to pursue their passions across the world. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ students are also in Brazil, Indonesia, Columbia, Italy, and other places throughout the world, serving as English teaching assistants to those seeking a second language. They are in a mixed-media internship at New York University, and working in the lab at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Exceptional Research Opportunities Program. They are pursing a PhD at Cornell University, and is working as a business analyst for a natural foods start-up in Cleveland. In short, the academic achievements of more than 20 students – recipients of Fulbright and NSF Graduate Research fellowships, as well as, Goldwater Scholarships and many other distinguished awards – continues to propel Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ, everywhere.
