Talent Development Student, Alyssa Mason, is URI’s first-ever participant in the Fulbright UK Summer Institute.
In a few weeks, Alyssa Mason will board a plane and fly to England to spend a month at a university polishing her writing skills. Oh, and she might eat some shepherd’s pie, too.
The trip is a dream come true for the 21-year-old University of Rhode Island junior, who just won a prestigious Fulbright award to study at the Nottingham Trent University Summer Institute.
“I still can’t believe it’s real,’’ says Mason. “Being part of a culture that’s different from my own is really exciting.’’
