Tracy Wamarema '28, an international first-year student from Kenya, participated in the Richter Scholar Program and experienced a series of "firsts": her first summer in America, her initial interaction with Hindu culture, and her inaugural experience of independent fieldwork.
"Having lived in the US for almost a year now, I considered myself fairly acquainted with the home of the brave," Wamarema said. "But how can you know a place without learning its culture? And how do you learn a culture if not through its people?"
The Richter Scholar Program provided Wamarema with an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of both the United States and its cultures.
