PLU alumna Elizabeth Larios will share about her transformative study abroad experience in Namibia, Africa, supported by the prestigious Fulbright and Gilman Scholarships. This immersive journey encompassed a cultural-musical exchange program, where she had the privilege of teaching Marimba to primary school students, fostering cross-cultural connections through the universal language of music. Additionally, she conducted clinical research on hand hygiene practices and NICU infection rates, combining her passion for science with a newfound appreciation for Namibian culture. She’ll discuss the pivotal role that funding, grants, and PLU support played in making this life-changing adventure possible.
