Hi friends,
My name is Julie and I can not wait for this adventure to begin! I just finished my first year at Drake and I am a double major in Sustainability & Resilience and Rhetoric, Media, & Social Change. I am interested in all types of sustainability, including social, developmental, and environmental. While in country, Ben Rohr and I will be furthering the research of previous Drake students to evaluate water quality in the village of Kikandwa, a community that experiences water-borne illnesses. I am most looking forward to experiencing nature in Uganda through safari and Murchison Falls, as well as getting to know my fellow Drake students better.
Students from Drake University (USA) and Makerere University Business School (Uganda) share their joint educational experiences in development enabled through joint coursework taken at both universities in the USA and Uganda.

ReplyDeleteHi Julie! So great to have met you through this trip! How would you say your research has gone after your duration in Uganda? What did you learn through the course of your research in which you were not expecting? I'm very interested to find out!
