Congratulations to the following IFSA-Butler students who have made great academic and personal achievements during and after their study abroad experiences! For more details on some of our students' amazing experiences, visit the IFSA-Butler blogs.
Lauren Bateman
Temple University
Chilean Universities Program, Santiago
Lauren has won a Diamond Research Scholars grant from Temple University to begin a research project starting in the summer and continuing during the fall semester. Lauren will be examining why and how traditional media sensationalized information about the 2011 student protests, while students depended on social media to help the movement grow and to engage supporters.
Lauren's research was featured on the This is Chile website. Read the article.
 Brian Groendyke
Depauw University
Chilean Universities Program, Santiago
Brian, a senior chemistry major from DePauw University, has won a full scholarship to Indiana University's PhD program in chemistry. As a chemistry major, he said it was a risk for him to study abroad and be able to finish all of his degree requirements, but that he is glad he decided to have an experience that most chemistry majors don't have. Congratulations Brian!
Tessa Maurer
Princeton University
Chilean Universities Program, Santiago
Tessa has won a scholarship from Princeton's Program in International and Regional Studies to conduct research that will form part of her senior thesis project in civil engineering. Tessa is still developing her project, but she plans on studying problems with drainage systems or water treatment either in Santiago or a small town outside of Santiago and propose a solution to the problem. She will be returning to Santiago this summer to do her research.
 Anthony Navarrete
Depauw University
Chilean Universities Program, Santiago
