Alexandra Fosbury ’21, Jacqueline Amezcua ’19 to serve in South America
by MaryAlice Bitts-Jackson
Two Dickinsonians were recently offered Fulbright grants to serve as English Teaching Assistants (ETAs) in South America. Alexandra Fosbury ’21 will teach English in Argentina, and Jacqueline Amezcua ’19 will teach in Brazil.
Realizing a dream
Fosbury double majors in political science and philosophy, with a minor in Spanish. She’s involved at Dickinson as co-editor-in-chief of
The Dickinsonian, a Liberty Cap tour guide, admissions intern, student-interviewer, student-mentor and Delta Nu member. She has planned to pursue a Fulbright since high school, when she first heard her older cousin share stories of her own Fulbright experiences in Bulgaria. With help from Dickinson’s Fulbright program advisors and the Center for Advising, Internships & Lifelong Career Development, she tackled the long and complex application process early and with relative ease.
