Helen K. Thomas nominated for Fulbright grant to Nigeria

Master of Arts in Cultural Studies alumn Helen K. Thomas has been nominated for a Fulbright grant to Nigeria, to pursue an independent project entitled, “Cultivating Self-Determination and Global Citizenship in Girls Through Young Adult Literature”. The proposal is grounded in academic work she completed as part of the Cultural Studies program, and is deeply rooted in her long history of community involvement, particularly with Young Women Empowered.
