Naoki Kihata ’22, Jordyn Kim ’22, and Keerthi Martyn ’22 have been awarded prestigious Davis Projects for Peace grants for projects in South Korea and Haiti.
This summer, the $10,000 awards will take Kihata and Kim to South Korea, where they’ll initiate a CCAK-like mentorship program aiming to address mental health burdens created by the pressures of the education system. Martyn will travel to Haiti, where he’ll work to strengthen the curriculum of a local college for social work by incorporating arts and art therapy.
Their projects are two of the 125 winners for 2021.
“We are thrilled,” said Kim, a mathematical sciences and biology double major and a chemistry minor.
