"When I was in Uganda for my senior thesis research, I had the opportunity to stay with other researchers in the research program guest house, where we cooked together and enjoyed communal meals made from locally grown crops every day," wrote Katie Kopp '23 about her 1st place entry in the Connection and Reflection category. "Grace, the house mother, taught us how to prepare Ugandan foods such as chapati, and we shared our own recipes with the group... When I had to leave Uganda, Grace wanted to be sure that I would be able to make chapati on my own back in the U.S., so on my last night, I cooked for Grace and the other researchers, and we all enjoyed my last night there together. I've made chapati for my family in the U.S. since, but it has never tasted quite as good as it did that night." Photo by Adena Stevens

Fung Global Fellows Program
The tenth cohort of Fung Global Fellows comes together around a common topic: sustainable futures.
