AWC Scholarship Award
The award is offered every three years and the next time will be in 2014.
The Scholarship Award for 2011 of 5,000 DKK was given to Ann Villumsen.
Along with a lot of help from member Joyce Rohr, President Clarice Scott and Membership Deniz Bayri, we managed to decide on this intelligent, lovely, and worthy candidate. Those of you who were able to attend the May gathering and meet her will know what I am talking about.
Ann Villumsen is finishing her BSC in San. Publ. (course of study is Public Health Science) and has been accepted in the 1-year Exchange Program at The University of California, Berkeley. Her Thesis: Social Class Differences in the Prevalence of Diabetes in Urban South India.
Global Health and Environment is a graduate level program with the Department of Environmental Health Sciences. From having volunteered in Africa with caring for seriously-ill AIDS patients (which led her to study Public Health and her desire to improve the life opportunities of some of the world’s deprived populations) to spending 2 months interning in Chennai, India working with the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation, Ann seems to have made an impression everywhere she went.
