Two College of Ed students awarded Bonderman Fellowships University Week June 3, 2010 Congratulations to TEP student Anna Kramer and Education, Learning, and Society Minor student Brittany Lichtyon theirr Bonderman fellowships. In order to become the best science teacher she can be, Anna will travel to the countries where most of her students have roots: Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Western and American Samoa, the Philippines and Indonesia. As she says, As I travel, I will explore the nature of the communities' relationships with the ecosystems in which they live, as well as strive to better understand how the unique biological communities and natural resources in each place shape the daily lives of the people living there, she said. Brittany plans to travel to countries with large groups of dispersed peoples due to conflict, including Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam then to Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, and finally to Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Somalia. The purpose of my journey is to expand global education and encourage cultural tolerance and understanding. Upon her return to the United States, she wants to expand study abroad programs for community colleges. Congrats Brittany! 2010 Bonderman Fellows»
