A third Samford University student has earned a 2013 Fulbright honor. The U.S.–U.K. Fulbright Commission has chosen freshman political science major, Beeson Exceptional Scholar and University Fellows honors student Laura Ann Pricket to take part in the 2013 Fulbright Summer Institute at England’s University of Bristol in June. Samford senior Chase Trautwein and 2012 alumna Samantha McFarland recently were selected to serve as Fulbright English Teaching Assistants in Germany starting in the fall.
The Fulbright Summer Institute is one of the world’s most prestigious and selective summer scholarship programs. Prickett, of Decatur, was selected from a strong applicant pool to experience the U.K. in the four-week summer program. During her stay at Bristol, she will study the slave trade with professors from all three continents involved in the historical triangular trade — Europe, Africa and North America.
