Student Worker

Letters FROM THE PRESIDENT The Foundation Fellowship program is the University of Georgia’s premier scholarship program, offering extraordinary experiences to a unique community of undergraduate scholars. Foundation Fellows and Ramsey Scholars benefit from the vibrant campus life and educational opportunities that only a major research university can provide while receiving all of the academic and personal support of a small, elite college. From mentoring relationships with world-renowned faculty to travel-study and internships across the U.S. and abroad, the outstanding education they gain at UGA prepares them to become leaders in whatever fields they choose. As President of the University of Georgia, I am extremely proud of our Foundation Fellows and Ramsey Scholars and appreciate all that they bring to our community of excellence.

Jere W. Morehead, President University of Georgia

FROM THE UGA FOUNDATION CHAIR As we welcome a new class of Foundation Fellows, we are reminded of the incredible capacity of these tremendously talented and diverse students. Whatever their interests, past history tells us that after making significant contributions at UGA, many of these scholars will advance to careers and callings in local, national, and global forums addressing the most critical needs of our times, while others will be admitted to top graduate programs, and many will earn the country’s most prestigious post-graduate scholarships. The University of Georgia Foundation is proud to support these outstanding students and is convinced that the Foundation Fellowship is the one of the best and most prestigious programs of its kind in the country.

Neal Quirk, Chair University of Georgia Foundation

FROM THE DEAN Foundation Fellows and Ramsey Honors Scholars bring diverse gifts and talents to the University of Georgia, and we are richer as an institution because of their positive impact on campus, in Georgia, and across the globe. As academically gifted as these students are, they continuously give of themselves through service, leadership, and research, going above even their high expectations to create a community of scholarship. It has been my pleasure to work with Foundation Fellows and Ramsey Scholars for many years, and watching them grow from students to alumni continues to give me great hope for our future. I look forward to seeing this program and its students prosper along with the college I am now privileged to lead as dean.

Overview

About the Foundation Fellowship and Ramsey Honors Scholarship The Jere W. Morehead Honors College administers the university’s top academic scholarships—the Foundation Fellowship, UGA’s premier academic scholarship, and the Ramsey Honors Scholarship, one of the highest merit-based awards. The Foundation Fellowship was created in 1972 by UGA Foundation trustees to enrich the educational experience of outstanding undergraduates. Fellows receive an annual stipend, research and academic conference grants, and individual travel-study grants. Fellows participate in a postfirst-year Maymester at the University of Oxford and spring group travel-study. The Ramsey Honors Scholarship was created in 2000 by UGA Foundation trustees under the name of the university’s most generous individual benefactor, the late Bernard Ramsey (BS ’37). Ramsey Scholars have been selected through the Foundation Fellowship application process and receive an annual stipend and travel-study grants and participate in spring break trips. In 2021, the Ramsey Scholarship was merged with the Foundation Fellowship. Fellows and Ramseys enjoy mentoring from professors who have matched interests, peer mentoring, dinner seminars and book discussions with faculty and alumni, cultural events, group travel, the Fellows Library in Moore Hall, and off-campus retreats that promote a sense of community.

UGA FOUNDATION FELLOWS & RAMSEY HONORS SCHOLARS ANNUAL REPORT 2022

SENIORS SPEAK: UGA ROSA BROWN

Fourth-year Ramsey Scholar majoring in English and international affairs

“From research experiences to clubs to law school applications, I have benefited immeasurably from the example set by other FFR students, and I am so grateful to be part of a program in which my role models are also some of my best friends. Spending fall semester of senior year at the University of Oxford is just the latest example in a long list of how UGA creates unparalleled opportunities for exploration and intellectual excellence far beyond the borders of campus.”

WILLIAM ROSS

Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in economics and finance

“FFR led me to friendships with bright people of all majors whom I may not have otherwise met. The mix made for quality conversation and taught me how differing intellectual perspectives can balance into a special harmony. I spent the past four years in homeless services, tech, and private equity; conversations in FFR helped me transfer knowledge among these disparate fields and to find my voice at their intersection.”

EMMA ELLIS

Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in genetics

“There are two reasons why I could spend a summer working on the spread of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika as the Puerto Rico Vector Control Unit’s first intern. The first was the funding and support from the Fellowship, which allowed me to take an unpaid, summer-long internship. The second was my amazing UGA mentor who connected me to the director of the program, places to stay, and even took me out to dinner while visiting over the summer. It’s hard to describe the feeling of finally doing the thing you always wanted to do, and realizing you love doing it, but that is the experience you get with the Fellowship.”

TATE HUNDA

Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in animal science and biological science

“I will forever be thankful for the opportunities afforded to me through the Foundation Fellowship. I have been given the space and time to grow throughout my four years at UGA. I have also been able to work with some of the most accomplished professors while traveling the globe. Much of what I was able to do would not have been possible without this program. The memories I have made and the people I have met at UGA will be with me throughout the rest of my life and I am so thankful to be able to say that.”

YEHIA ABDELSAMAD Fourth-year Ramsey Honors Scholar majoring in biology with an MPH in biostatistics

“The support of the Ramsey Scholarship and Honors has been pivotal to me as a student with a variety of professional and academic interests. As a freshman, the Honors College connected me to foreign language conversation groups and the Medicine-in-Literature book discussion group. Living in Myers Hall with other FFR led to my involvement with University Housing, where I have now worked for several years. The mentorship of older students, facilitated through FFR events, encouraged me to branch out and seek research, community involvement, and leadership opportunities. The financial support provided by the program made it possible to complete an MPH in biostatistics while finishing up my undergraduate requirements. I was able to explore my interests in medicine, public health, statistics, language learning, and more.”

International Recognition

Gates Cambridge Scholar Claire Bunn Foundation Fellow and Stamps Scholar Claire Bunn will continue her studies in lung biology this fall as one of 23 Americans selected for the 2022 class of Gates Cambridge Scholars. The scholarship fully funds postgraduate study and research in any subject at the University of Cambridge in England. In addition, Claire was one of six students nationwide who were awarded the Phi Kappa Phi Marcus L. Urann Fellowship, which carries a $20,000 stipend for graduate study. Claire graduated in May with a degree in genetics. A 2021 Goldwater Scholar, she devoted much of her time at UGA to researching protein kinases, using bioinformatic and biochemical approaches with Natarajan Kannan, a professor of biochemistry and molecular biology. She also worked as a campus tour guide through the UGA Visitors Center. In fall 2020, Claire began researching developmental lung biology, working remotely with Dr. Jennifer Sucre, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and a Foundation Fellow alumna, conducting digital imaging analysis of the lung tissue samples of preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a form of chronic lung disease that affects newborns. She quickly gained an interest in research at the intersection of developmental and cancer biology— topics she will continue to study this fall. At Cambridge, she will pursue a Ph.D. in the Department of Physiology, Development, and Neuroscience. Her goal is to investigate the cellular mechanisms governing embryonic lung development and tissue maintenance. “Through this research, I hope to deepen our understanding of fundamental biological processes to guide

personalized medical therapies that are accessible to all populations,” she said. As an aspiring physician-scientist, Claire also researched public health in the Mississippi Delta region as a Delta Scholar and wrote for the Boston Congress of Public Health. Her UGA involvement includes serving as an Honors teaching assistant, co-president of the Honors Student Council in the Morehead Honors College, head coach for UGA MATHCOUNTS Outreach, and peer mentor for Destination Dawgs.

UGA FOUNDATION FELLOWS & RAMSEY HONORS SCHOLARS ANNUAL REPORT 2022

SENIORS SPEAK: Faculty Mentors JORDAN COLE Graduating third-year Foundation Fellow majoring in psychology and sociology

“Working with Dr. Anne Shaffer and graduate student Violeta Rodriguez in the UGA FRESH Lab has been one of the most impactful experiences I’ve had at UGA. We are studying how to develop parenting assessments that better include the experiences of racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse parents, so I’ve gotten to recruit and interview parents across the nation and discuss their various parenting styles with the intention of improving systems for parents like them in the future. Dr. Shaffer and Violeta Rodriguez have been nothing but immensely supportive, and I am so honored to have learned from and worked beside them.”

SHI HO KIM

Graduating third-year Foundation Fellow majoring in international affairs

“In the spring of 2022, I took elementary Tajiki as part of UGA’s Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant program under Prof. Manizha Datlatova. The Fulbright FLTA program gives students an exposure to languages and cultures that are not easily accessible, and it brings highly qualified and passionate educators to the university. During my three and a half months of intensive education, I have been able to reach a lower intermediate conversational level, and now have the means to learn the Tajiki language independently. I have also gained a deep cultural understanding of Tajikistan and Central Asia, a region that I was always interested in but knew little about.”

SASHA STOGNIY Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in biochemistry & molecular biology and Russian

“The Russian Department feels like a family. Every single professor and administrator has been so incredibly supportive in every endeavor I’ve pursued— study, research, competition, Russian Flagship, and more. I’ll miss the picnics, coffee hours, costume contests, conversation tables, movies, trivia nights, matryoshka-painting workshops, even the cursed stairs that lead to nowhere, and most of all, the people!”

JENA JIBREEN Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in international affairs and psychology

“I came to UGA with one goal: to travel extensively, with the Fellowship’s assistance. When that goal became unattainable, thanks to COVID, I didn’t know quite what I was going to do. That is, until Dr. Maryann Gallagher helped me find research opportunities within international affairs that made me excited to stick around. Her mentorship has meant the world to me. She helped me build confidence in my research capabilities, and she helped illuminate my academic path. It’s remarkable how eager everyone is to help you find your way in the Fellowship. Thanks to the FFR network, I’ve been able to experience fields outside of my academic focus, and I no longer feel pressured to follow one singular path. I am eternally grateful to the fellowship for allowing me to find what brings me joy.”

ROBYN ANZULIS Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in economics and international affairs “Every summer throughout college, I returned to my internship at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab in Laurel, Maryland. Interning there added context to many of the opportunities I pursued at UGA. Sophomore year, I joined the Richard B. Russell Security Leadership Program and conducted research on security threats to submarine telecommunication cables, a project inspired by a presentation I had seen at my internship. I was able to apply coursework in data science and theoretical economics to the work I was doing every summer. And taking classes with the UGA Institute for Leadership Advancement has made me a more effective employee and led me to take risks. I have greatly benefitted from integrating my education and my work in meaningful and unique ways.”

I interned with the U.S. House Committee on Agriculture – writing speeches, crafting op-eds, and photographing congressional hearings. It was an experience that satisfied my inner voracious reader, made me an even better writer, avid consumer of media, and wannabe political pundit. It also forged the path for my future career in public affairs communications. The opportunity to live, learn, and work alongside our nation’s elected officials wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the Fellowship. Both financially and educationally, the Foundation Fellowship empowered and supported me while I found my voice in Washington.”

GARRETT WILLIAMS Fourth-year Ramsey Scholar majoring in economics and finance “The Foundation Fellows & Ramseys Program supported me as I navigated different career opportunities. My interests ran the gamut – from media & entertainment to education to economic research to finance. When I became interested in pursuing management consulting, I was instantly put in touch with several FFR alumni in the field. The summer after junior year, I interned at Bain & Company in their private equity group. I did deep dives into different industries, conducting primary research to support private equity funds making multi-billion-dollar acquisitions. I built a consumer survey to assess the competitive positioning of a healthcare tech unicorn, and the results ultimately led to a $3 billion merger.”

HIMANI YADAV

Fourth-year Fellow majoring in cognitive science, computer science, and philosophy “I found the Fellowship’s support instrumental in helping me fulfil my professional goals. After the Oxford Maymester and subsequent backpacking through Europe post-freshman year, I went to London to work in data analytics for the NHS. The Fellowship provided me with the ability to support myself abroad during this otherwise unpaid internship. I was able to gain valuable experience working on code outside of the classroom and land internships at Google the following summers. I’m excited to return to work as a Software Engineer at Google after graduation.”

MARGARET (EMME) WARREN Fourth-year Fellow majoring in finance and risk management & insurance “I did internships at Padgett (accounting and franchising) and Protiviti (risk and compliance consulting). During school, I was involved with the Ballroom Performance Group, and I loved being treasurer (my favorite style is bachata). I also played Rugby, both hooker and flanker, and it really helped me get my confidence back. With the Student Managed Investment Fund (SMIF), I was the only female sector leader, headed up the Financial Institutions Group, and won every pitch.”

SENIORS SPEAK: Research EMMA TRAYNOR

Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in applied mathematics and international affairs

“Before I came to UGA, I didn’t know that undergrads could do research, but through the FFR community and CURO, I was able to dive head first into research projects that interested me. I met my first research mentor through another FFR and completed my first independent project through the Honors Policy Scholars course. From there, I conducted a variety of other research projects, leading up to a thesis on Media Framing of Women in Organized Crime in Latin America. These experiences also helped me land an internship at the Stimson Center, an international security policy think tank in Washington, D.C., that I heard about through an FFR alum. Without the connections and support of the FFR community, I may never have ventured into the wonderful world of research.”

ELIZABETH ESSER

Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in ecology and genetics

“I knew I wanted to pursue research coming into UGA, but I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to work on five different research projects in my four years here. The financial support and connections of the Fellowship allowed me to explore all of my varied research interests and gain a very wide range of skills conducting research throughout the United States and internationally. On campus, Dr. Byers started out as my research mentor, but he has become a mentor to me in so many other areas of life. He has supported and helped me to explore my interests outside of our research project, and he helped me to start a new organization, Invasive Species at UGA. His guidance helped me grow into a better researcher and make an impact during my time here at UGA.”

ERIC MILLER

Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in computer science and mathematics with an MS in artificial intelligence

“Before freshman year, I heard about the Small Satellite Lab from older FFR and immediately knew I wanted to pursue research there. Upon joining the lab my second semester, I began pursuing multiple research opportunities in satellite and space technology—including a summer fellowship with CURO, three internships at various NASA centers, and eventually a master’s thesis—all while leading multiple teams within the lab. In retrospect, every major accomplishment I’ve made over the past four years can be traced back to FFR and the amazing professional network the program fosters.”

NATHAN SAFIR

Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in computer science with an MS in artificial intelligence

“Since coming here, I’ve conducted research with the UGA Computer Science Department, the UGA Geography Department, the Netherlands Organization for Applied Science Research, and the University of Warwick. I’ve led clubs and was the editor in chief of a political magazine, debated AI ethics at Oxford, and worked at Google for two summers. I’ve also had the opportunity to earn a master’s in AI along with a bachelor’s in CS through the UGA Double Dawgs Program in just four years.”

TREY SWENTON Fourth-year Ramsey Honors Scholar majoring in anthropology and genetics

“I participated in a long-term science education research project under Dr. David Hall’s and Dr. Norris Armstrong’s labs. This project involved the construction of a 3D model of DNA that could be printed and implemented in classrooms to help students better understand the molecular structure of DNA. I also interned in Athens at the Georgia Museum of Natural History, created educational videos related to archaeology in collaboration with Dr. Jennifer Birch, and attended the Slavia Foundation Field School in Gac, Poland. At this field school, I learned surveying and excavation methods and became proficient in mortuary archaeology and osteology.”

SENIORS SPEAK: Research JAAIE VARSHNEY Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in political science and women’s studies

“The Foundation Fellowship empowered me to do research on issues relating to reproductive health and justice. I addressed menstrual health at UGA and in Athens, as well abortion access for minors in the South. My research activities enriched my internships at Feminist Women’s Health Center and NARAL Pro-Choice America by allowing me to combine a scholarly perspective with advocacy.”

AUSTIN STACK

Fourth-year Ramsey Scholar majoring in biochemical engineering with an MS in pharmaceutical sciences

“A fortuitous email from Jessica Hunt in the week before I started my first semester at UGA led to four years of biochemistry pedagogy research under Dr. Paula Lemons – the best faculty mentor and principal investigator I could have asked for. Dr. Lemons taught me more and supported me more than I can express in my thanks. With her lab, I’ve presented at conferences, authored published research, and played a mean game of Codenames. Thanks to her endorsement, I’m now pursuing a Double Dawgs MS in pharmaceutical sciences. She’s an inspiration as an educator, a mentor, and a friend.”

KEATON COLETTI

Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in mathematics and mechanical engineering

Keaton’s research projects range from cantilevered beams to turbomachinery components. He was the president of AIAA’s UGA chapter, an active member of the Small Satellite Research Laboratory, and an intern at Lockheed Martin, and next year, he will pursue a PhD in mechanical engineering at UGA and study mechanical vibration under a grant from Sandia National Labs.

RACHEL MATTSON

Fourth-year Ramsey Scholar majoring in cognitive science with an MS in artificial intelligence

A Double Dawgs participant, Rachel is combining technical expertise with deep insight into how people work. Recipient of a CURO research award and a National Science Foundation REU, she has studied cutting-edge problems at the intersection of AI technology and public policy. She has made time to serve as president of the UGA Fencing Club and to compete (she was also a top-10 scorer at the USA Collegiate Fencing Championships).

ALEX ELDRIDGE Fourth-year Ramsey Scholar majoring in linguistics and mathematics

“Sophomore year at UGA, I worked with the Quinn Research Group on their Ciliary Motion Analysis project with the goal of identifying abnormal images of nasal cilia. We adapted newlydeveloped deep learning architectures and experimented on our own novel architectures with powerful computing resources at UGA. In the summer of 2021, I participated in an REU on knot theory mentored by two professors in the UGA math department, and we presented our research from this program at two undergraduate mathematics conferences.”

SENIORS SPEAK: Service CARTER BEST

Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in international affairs “Being a tutor for the Athens Prison Tutorial for all four years of my time at UGA brought me so much personal fulfilment and joy because of the friendships I formed with fellow tutors and the incarcerated students we tutored at the Diversion Center. An internship with the Tahirih Justice Center gave me a clearer idea of where I’d like and not like to take my career, all while working with a group of incredibly caring and inspiring supervisors and team members. I interacted directly with clients seeking assistance from the Forced Marriage Initiative, which was one of the most valuable experiences I have ever had both from an emotional and a professional development point of view.”

LUKE ARMAO

Fourth-year Fellow majoring in cognitive science and philosophy with an MS in artificial intelligence “One of the best parts of my time at UGA has been my work leading The Backpack Project of Athens, a local non-profit that works with individuals experiencing homelessness and encampment communities in Athens. I’ve loved meeting new members as we’ve grown, and helping them get involved with the Athens community through hands-on volunteer events that let them actually meet and have conversations with the people they’re helping (the relationships we build are the most important part of our work). I’m so grateful for the support of the community which has allowed us to bring meals to multiple encampments (60+ meals) in Athens on a weekly basis, distribute other important resources such as shoes and medical supplies, and help people in any way we can to escape the vicious and unfair cycle of housing insecurity.”

MARSHALL BERTON Fourth-year Ramsey Scholar studying majoring in finance/international business and international affairs “As executive director of UGA Votes, I led a nonpartisan voter registration organization during one of the most contentious elections in Georgia history. Despite the pandemic, we helped 1,214 students and community members cast their ballots on campus. Our work was covered by CNN, the Washington Post, and other notable media outlets. Managing national press interviews from my college apartment was something I could not have done without the leadership development and support of the FFR program.”

APARNA PATERIA Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in biology and English “FFR was the reason I could obtain a diversity of experience working with children and adults in all kinds of educational and nonprofit settings – as a shift leader with Athens Prison Tutorial, an English tutor with Paper Airplanes, a peer learning assistant and chemistry tutor with the Division of Academic Enhancement, and a volunteer at Bala Vihar Indian Cultural School.”

HIMANI YADAV

Fourth-year Fellow majoring in cognitive science, computer science, and philosophy “One of the most meaningful experiences during my time here was founding and running Girls Who Code at UGA. I participated in my high school’s GWC club, which led me to major in computer science. When I noticed that there were no GWC chapters in the schools in Athens, a friend and I started planning. That’s how Girls Who Code at UGA was born, an outreach organization that connects UGA students with Athens-area middle and high school students to teach computer science fundamentals. The best part of volunteering is seeing the look on the girls’ faces when their programs successfully run and they get to play a game or browse a website that they built themselves. Through the club, I was also able to find my own community of women in STEM on campus, which has been very rewarding.”

Individual Travel-Study Claire Bunn ‘22 “For someone from a small town in Arkansas, the Fellowship has been my window to the world. I had always known the world offered so much, but travel with the Fellowship helped me see I had a place in it. Group travel in the beginning gave me the confidence to find my footing in new settings while forming close friendships, and as I grew older, I’ve had the courage to create my own adventures.” Marshall Berton ‘22 “The FFR program enables students to see the world without the financial burden, allowing us to expand our horizons and create unforgettable memories.” Emma Ellis ‘22 “When I stood atop a dormant volcano, watching an adjacent volcano erupt, I realized I was successfully traveling abroad independently – something I never could have imagined myself doing before college. Beyond the resources and opportunities of the Fellowship, they also teach you so much about yourself and what you can do. Traveling with the Fellowship taught me that nowhere around the world is too far or too unattainable.”

EMMA CHANDLER HALE

ANNA SAMSONOV

Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in anthropology and biology “Spending a month at an archaeology field school in Poland was a really formative experience for me. Focused on a medieval cemetery in Giecz, a village near Poznan, our project hoped to protect the artifacts and remains at the site from agricultural damage. The program challenged my understanding of material from my classes, and it pushed me to grow into a more independent, self-aware, and grounded person. I met other students passionate about anthropology and learned so much from their unique backgrounds – how to properly clean off artifacts, how forensic research centers are run, how to set up a VPN to watch new episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race. In all seriousness, the opportunity to participate in this program was a major factor in my decision to pursue anthropology as a career.”

Fourth-year Foundation Fellow majoring in history and women’s studies “In the summer of 2021, I decided to combine my interests in history and nature in order to spend as much time outdoors as possible. I went on camping trips to Cherokee National Forest, Grandfather Mountain State Park, Shenandoah National Park, New River Gorge, Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, Grand Staircase- Escalante, and North Rim Grand Canyon National Park. Over the course of the summer, I visited Turtle Mound and the Nuttalburg Mine. I went white water rafting on the Nolichucky River and the New River, and I stayed in the raft through giant class-five rapids. I hiked Angels Landing and Grandfather Mountain, surviving twisted ankles, poison ivy, and snake encounters. From getting covered in mud while caving at Worely’s Cave to seeing the Big Dipper while night zip lining, FFR enabled me to have one of the best summers of my life.”

Greece Designed by Dr. David Williams, former associate provost and Honors dean, and led by Honors staff Colleen Pruitt and Kavi Pandian, this Fellows trip explored the history, philosophy, art, and architecture of ancient Greece. Alongside reading Bettany Hughes’s The Hemlock Cup: Socrates, Athens and the Search for the Good Life—visits to the Tomb of Agamemnon in Mycenae and the Temple of Apollo at Delphi brought tales of the Trojan War and ancient Greek mythology to life, while tours of the Parthenon, Acropolis Museum, and National Archaeological Museum highlighted the cultural and artistic development of Greece over the millennia. A closing day trip to the island of Hydra gave students a chance to explore Greece’s natural beauty and learn about one of its oldest and most reliable forms of transportation—donkeys!

UGA FOUNDATION FELLOWS & RAMSEY HONORS SCHOLARS ANNUAL REPORT 2022

Colombia Led by Professor Tim Samples of the Terry College of Business and Honors assistant dean Maria de Rocher, Fellows explored the political economy, history, urban development, and geography of Colombia. From Bogotá to Medellín to Cartagena—on bikes, on buses, on foot, on catamaran—students explored the three cities and their surrounding environs. They visited Monserrate in Bogotá and hiked to waterfalls in the mountains outside the city; toured La Nueva Comuna 13 in Medellín to learn about the neighborhood’s revitalization, and explored Cartagena’s colonial past within its Walled City, a UNESCO World Heritage site that includes Plaza de la Aduana, where over a million enslaved people were once trafficked, and Palacio de la Inquisición, seat of the Holy Office of the Inquisition in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Thailand Led by Dr. Hyangsoon Yi of the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences and Honors communications coordinator Stephanie Schupska, Fellows explored Buddhist history and practice in Thailand as well as traditional Thai cuisine. Through visits to Thai landmarks and temples—including Wat Phra Kaew (the Temple of the Emerald Buddha) in Bangkok and the Summer Palace and temples including Wat Phra Si Sanphet, Wat Phra Mahathat, and Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon in Ayutthaya—they engaged with the country’s religious and cultural traditions. They rounded out their trip with visits to Koh Larn (Coral Island), one of Pattaya’s stunning coastal destinations; Khao Chi Chan (Buddha Mountain); and the Grand Palace in Bangkok, a complex of buildings that have been the official residence of the Kings of Siam since 1782.

UGA at Oxford

Wintermester & Maymester at the University of Oxford Yeongseo Son (class of 2025)

“The Oxford Maymester met and exceeded my expectations (and oh boy, my expectations were high). My favorite parts were grabbing warm chocolate croissants from the HB Allen cafe, walking the beautiful cliffs and shores of England, talking with my Biomedical Ethics class in the absolute dark at Dans le Noir for our London excursion, and playing chess all night with my friends at the UGA@Oxford house. I also loved how I was able to get closer to my amazing peers in the program. I really feel, even more so after the Maymester, that I have found a family at UGA.”

Suhan Kacholia (class of 2025)

“The month in Oxford was one of the most enriching and eye-opening experiences of my life. The Philosophy of Language class helped me grow into a more rigorous and clearer thinker. During the Maymester, I took full advantage of what England has to offer – I saw a Shakespeare play at the Globe Theatre, went punting on the Thames, and connected with Oxford students involved in organizations I care about.”

Aryan Thakur (class of 2025)

“The month at Oxford was a unique bonding experience for us. Living across the world for a month with some of your best friends is like a crash course in getting to know them deeply. You figure out their quirks, what excites them, what they do when they’re exhausted and are forced to eat a Cornish pasty.”

Elliot Williamson (class of 2024)

“In weather that was almost always sometimes sunny and with 40 of my friends around me, I explored all sorts of places in the UK, from London to the small towns in the Cotswolds to the incredible English coast.”

Logan Williamson (class of 2024)

“The best part about Oxford is how much we were able to do in so little time. In 24 hours I’d go from having two classes where I defended a stance against nuclear weapons to being in England’s oldest city, wandering the ancient Roman baths.”

Lisa Ann Coole Award

Emma Ellis and Emma Hale honored with Lisa Ann Coole Award The Foundation Fellows Class of 2022 chose Emma Ellis and Emma Hale as this year’s recipients of the Lisa Ann Coole Award. The award was established in 1999 to honor Lisa Ann Coole’s memory and to inspire Foundation Fellows to translate into their lives the compassion, joy, courage, and excellence that defined Lisa’s presence in the Fellowship, at UGA, and in her communities both in Georgia and in Illinois. Lisa was an extraordinary person. She graduated from the University of Georgia magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a degree in biology in 1997. She was a 19-time All-American swimmer, won two NCAA titles, and was selected as the 1997 NCAA Woman of the Year. Lisa had just completed her first year of veterinary medicine at the University of Illinois-Champaign when she died as a result of injuries received in an automobile accident. In 1999, she was inducted into the UGA Athletic Association Circle of Honor, the highest tribute paid to former Bulldog athletes and coaches. Emma Ellis graduated with a degree in genetics and is now completing a year-long community health fellowship with Project Horseshoe Farm in Alabama while applying to MD/MPH programs for the following year. Emma (Chandler) Hale graduated with degrees in history and women’s studies and is now teaching high school in Mississippi and pursuing a master’s degree at Ole Miss as part of the Mississippi Teachers Corps. Their classmates share their appreciation below: “Emma Ellis excels in anything she sets her mind to, but she never flaunts her talents or her accomplishments. Ellis is intentionally kind to everyone she interacts with, whether that is her friends or people she’s just meeting. She’s always done her best to bring the people in our grade together, and she always makes sure that everyone is included. She’s served the Athens community through her work with IMPACT and The Cottage, and her life goals are also aimed toward service. She’s been a kind, considerate friend who supports others while achieving many great things herself, and she is very deserving of this award.” “Emma Ellis is a thoughtful, supportive, and inviting friend with a big heart, and is everyone’s go-to when they need a sympathetic ear. At the same time, she constantly keeps herself busy with various campus and community commitments, not for any sort of recognition, but because she enjoys helping people. She is a true servant-leader; from volunteering at the library, hospital, and sexual assault center, planning IMPACT trips, organizing Global Health Union events, and more. She is so humble and would never brag on herself, but her academic, research, and leadership accomplishments are beyond impressive as well.” “Chandler Hale helps everyone feel included (and comes up with memorable group bonding ideas, like hosting a class-wide sleepover in Myers).

local Days of Service. Her academic pursuits are also impressive, though we don’t hear her bragging about them. She tells us about her new projects because she’s excited about learning about history and wants to share that interest. And there’s no question that Chandler has a love for the Fellowship—I think our collective handmade masks, pillows, and blankets are a testament to that. She embodies the values this award hopes to honor.” “Affectionately known as Chandler to our class since she didn’t want multiple Emmas to confuse anyone – she is the type of student who asks questions in class because she is genuinely curious and will fascinate you with stories of feminist figures at a party. Her academic distinction is a natural outgrowth of her innate love of learning. Her profound empathy is her greatest strength, and it reverberates throughout the Fellowship. Her desire to bring others together is responsible for Shakespearean reenactments in Oxford, crafting workshops, camping trips, and squirrel watching. She never meets a stranger and is a mentor, inspiration, and friend to all. What makes her truly remarkable is the way she devotes herself to fostering compassion, joy, courage, and excellence in others, whether that’s as a servant, future teacher, leader, or friend.” Previous Recipients are Rachel Yuan (2021), Avni Ahuja & Emma Goldsmith (2020), Caroline Shearer (2019), Emily Maloney & Mollie Simon (2018), Moira Fennell (2017), Kirstie Hostetter & Chris Lewitzke (2016), Eilidh Geddes (2015), Jesse Chan (2014), Sara De La Torre Berón (2013), Hank Schwartz (2012), Mir Inaamullah & Alex Squires (2011), Betsy Allen (2010), Elizabeth Godbey (2009), Anant Mandawat (2008), Helen Smith (2007), Chloe Thompson (2006), Krisda Chaiyachati (2005), Vanessa Reynolds (2004), Chris Gibson (2003), Cathy Lee & Tina Rakkit (2002), Laquesha Sanders & Kyle Wingfield (2001), Bronson Lee (2000), Lacy Feldman & Torre Mills (1999).
