Pre-Departure Post

Hi my name is Sophie Gray and I just finished my first year at Drake! I am double majoring in public relations and psychology with a minor in graphic design and a concentration in Behavior Analysis of Developmental Disabilities. I am excited to begin my adventure in Uganda! In Uganda I hope to learn about how the education system works and what types of interventions are used on students with emotional and behavioral disorders. For my research project I will be interviewing teachers and staff at the schools that we visit about what they consider negative behavior in the classroom. I am extremely excited to immerse myself in a different culture and create memories that will be with me forever.
