2007 Richter
Scholars Program:
Wake Forest University has received a grant from the Richter Fellowship Office for the eight year in a row for graduate student travel. WFU is currently the only university receiving money from this fund for graduate student travel. This year there were 13 project proposals from the Reynolda Campus. As always, a project had to combine a research experience along with involvement with the local culture. Because of the quality of the applications, the choice was a difficult one. However, the committee choose three students to be recipients. We congratulate them and wish them an interesting and educational trip. |
