Foundation Fellow Zakiyya Ellington came to UGA, in part for the big sports atmosphere and in part for the travel associated with her fellowship. She’s studied at Oxford, and traveled to Tanzania, Morocco, Spain, France and Costa Rica. Still one of her favorite UGA experiences was playing women’s club rugby, which taught her to be fearless. Up next, she’ll be pursuing a master’s degree in global affairs in China.
