Alicia Rich is Well on Her Way to Becoming the Kind of Primatologist She Saw in a Book her 2nd Grade Teacher Shared with Her so Many Years Ago
From enthusiastic second grader to gorilla keeper and finally to research assistant, Alicia has pursued her dream of becoming a primatologist with all of her passion. She is also the first to acknowledge that the Honors College has helped her along the road to Kenya. "I think I will owe the Honors College a lot for the rest of my life now. They took a working-class high school student from a small town and gave her a chance to think outside of the box she was raised in," she says. Alicia believes that critical thinking and teamwork, two major components of the core curriculum, will help her in Africa and during all of her future field studies. She will board her plane to Kenya with a hopeful and grateful spirit. (PRWeb Jun 23, 2008)
