“Four Macalester seniors who graduated in May were awarded Fulbright grants for graduate study and research abroad. They are:
Amy Griffin, a geography, chemistry and art major from St. Paul, who will spend the 1997-98 academic year in Germany working on spatial analysis. She will use Geographic Information Systems to study changes in the economies, cities and cultures of Europe as a result of the European Union.
Ann La Tour, a German major from Shakopee, Minn., who will also spend next year in Germany, where she will study the philosophy of German educator Rudolf Steiner. Steiner’s philosophy became the backbone of the Waldorf School system.
Katie Kelley, a geology major from Mankato, Minn., who will study in the Philippines, where she will research volcanic rocks near Mount Pinatubo and Mount Arayat.
Rena Levin, a sociology major form Arlington, Va., who will travel to Norway to do a comparative study of the way two of the country’s most widely read newspapers have covered the recent arrival of large numbers of non-Western immigrants to Norway.”
