Undergraduate Students The following first-year students have been awarded Presidential Scholarships and were selected as part of the CMU admission process. CMU Directory Contact. Every month, thousands of refugees flee Eritrea to escape severe political and civil oppression, which includes extrajudicial killing, enforced disappearance, and indefinite detention. Yet last year, Italian fishermen, afraid of being prosecuted for aiding illegal immigrants, watched as over Eritreans drowned less than a kilometer away from shore after their boat caught fire and capsized.
This summer, I will make a film about this tragedy and the plight of the Eritrean refugees in general. Being an Eritrean immigrant myself, I will explore the diaspora within my own family and demonstrate how film can be a medium for promoting social justice. I have created a partnership with the Center for Intercultural Organizing, which will help me produce my film and share it with the Portland community. I believe that every person has a story—and also has a right to tell that story and be heard.
Prisoners in our society tend to be dehumanized and cast aside, effectively silenced as a result of being judged based upon their criminal history. Through a photojournalism project, I intend to create the space for prisoners to share their stories, and be recognized for their full and complex humanity. I will focus on a population of prisoners working toward self- and life-improvement at the Campus within Walls college program located at the Lunenburg Correctional Center in Virginia.
The Campus within Walls program serves around 90 inmates on track for release, and provides an accredited four-year college degree to dedicated students. I hope my project will empower these individuals and illuminate the benefits of a rehabilitative approach in our prison system.
The sport of badminton, while given little attention in the U. But like any sport, badminton in China does not merely showcase a drama of physical achievement; rather, it carries huge cultural and political import.
The idea behind this project is to explore firsthand the pedagogical approach the Chinese government has taken to training its top players and how badminton has become a cornerstone of Chinese national pride. I will travel to China, visit badminton clubs and training centers, interview rising players, and play and train with the people I meet there.
As a lifelong lover of the sport, I am eager to hone my racquet skills in addition to broadening my understanding of Chinese language and culture. I hope to return with insights and experience to expand the Reed Badminton Club and continue coaching at the Portland Badminton Club.
