Fulbright Spotlight: Neorgia Grant ’20
“It’s so empowering to know someone is telling your story. That’s one way I see myself using my education: getting the people I know published or giving them the self-authorship to get their own stories published, and get these stories into the curriculum.”
“We transform people who come to us with ability and determination. ... My principal goal is to learn who it is I'm teaching and figure out what they care about, what interests them as a passion, and how I can be supportive of them to follow that passion.”
“Scholarly engagement really enriches the academic mission of the College and that translates into opportunities for students and faculty. It allows me to think about the different aspects of what I do as an educator and scholar in a synthesized way.”
“Having students being able to stay here through the summer, being paid and having a stipend while they dive into the research for several weeks at a time, has made a big difference. They don’t have to worry about having to go and work somewhere else while doing research.”
“Having financial aid and scholarships has been huge. It meant I could work a few hours less and have time to study and do orgs, relax a little bit and decompress from the chaos of the world. I’m so grateful for it.”
