The University of Dayton’s Hanley Sustainability Institute has named the first four HSI graduate fellowship recipients.
The new program, which will start next academic year, was launched to attract high-quality students with an interest in sustainability to work on research projects mentored by a faculty member and other complementary programmatic efforts within HSI.
The 2021-22 fellows are:
Theresah Adu Ansere, a 2016 graduate of University of Education in Winneba, Ghana, has been teaching English at a high school in Ghana. Before that, she taught English at a Montessori school. “As a professional teacher, my successes have stemmed from essential skills, including my ability to write creatively and communicate effectively,” Ansere wrote in her application. “I have enhanced my collaboration abilities and cultivated a reputation as a major contributor through communication and critical thinking.” Ansere will work with HSI curriculum director and sustainability program director Rebecca Potter on a book project about core competencies in sustainability education.
