Senior Awarded Labouisse Prize for Postgraduate Research
Senior Maital Friedman has been awarded the University's Henry Richardson Labouisse '26 Prize, which provides $25,000 to support research in developing countries by a graduating senior or a first-year alumnus or alumna.
Friedman, who is majoring in religion and pursuing a certificate in African studies, is a recipient of the Thomas Nichol Jr., Class of 1933, Memorial Scholarship.
The Labouisse fellowship will allow Friedman to return to Mbale in eastern Uganda, where she had worked for 10 weeks in the summer of 2005, helping to establish a textbook library for local children. On this trip, she plans on helping the community expand the library and move it to a central location.
