I am very glad that I had the opportunity to participate in this fellowship. I really enjoyed being able to do my own research on something that I was passionate about, rather than assisting a professor on theirs. I also liked how I was able to control for the most part how my research went…

So I wasn’t at the meeting on Friday, but I did get all of the paper feedback. I got suggestions to edit some of the longer pieces of text on the site as well as to make it more visually pleasing. So to do this, on the About page I added in pictures of the…

When faced with the idea of human trafficking, a majority of people most likely conjure up images of people being kidnapped and shipped to various third-world countries.

I am interested in the digital fellowship because this past semester I had the chance to work with some video editing software and I loved learning how to use it. I have always wanted to expand my technological/digital skills but have never had the opportunity to do so. I am hoping to gain even more…
