UE junior to study in Tanzania in spring

Whitney Cohen, a University of Evansville junior majoring in international studies, is the latest UE student to receive a Gilman Scholarship to support her plans to study abroad during the spring 2011 semester.

Cohen, from Sylmar, Calif., will enroll at the Arcadia University Center for East African Studies in Arusha, Tanzania. Her coursework will include a core seminar on conflict, peace and security in East Africa as well as Kiswahili language and elective courses drawn from the politics and culture of Tanzania.

Cohen is the fifth Gilman Scholar from UE since 2008. Brittany Drossart is a current UE Gilman Scholar completing studies at a university in Santiago, Dominican Republic.

Other national scholarship winners from UE this year include Fulbright Scholars Courtney Kersten and Bryce Mitchell, both May graduates, who are working in Latvia and South Korea, and 2006 UE graduate Carime Lechner, who is a Fulbright English teaching assistant in Mongolia.

The Gilman Scholarship is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State and administered by the Institute of International Education. The program offers scholarships for students who have been traditionally underrepresented in education abroad.
