Emilie De Wulf
Project Title - When Wild Meets the West: Preserving Horse Breaking, A Diverse Art at Risk
Countries - Mongolia, Iceland, Morocco, Namibia, Brazil
My immersion in diverse practices of horsemanship in Iceland, Mongolia, Morocco, Namibia, and Argentina will provide me with a critical perspective on the revolution happening in horse training. The popular natural horsemanship techniques of the American West are influencing and potentially threatening indigenous horse breaking practices. By observing horses in different settings and tasks, by experiencing first hand the success or failure of traditional tack and training methods in the wake of western influence and tourism, and by learning these practices before they are lost entirely, I will establish a platform from which I can analyze the state of and help to preserve original horse knowledge.
Emily is an English (Literature) major, with a French minor, was a Dijon study-abroad participant, and French House resident
Rachel Gross
Project Title - Mountain Hut Systems and the Meaning of Wilderness
Countries - Switzerland, Scotland, Finland, Chile, India, Tanzania
Of the systems of huts that dot the backcountry of the world's wilderness areas, each hut, be it a 2x8 shed with room just for a sleeping bag or a two story hostel with the amenities to match, points to the same question: how do the people who visit and work there view the nature around them. Because the very idea of wilderness is a social construction, this idea will vary, even among people from the same country. My goal is to hike hut-to-hut in the backcountries of Switzerland, Scotland, Finland, Chile, and India in order to explore the way different groups define their presence and purpose in the wilderness.
Rachel is a double major History and Spanish Literary Studies, with a French minor and Honors Program. She studied abroad in Granada.

The University of Puget Sound has been selected to join other prestigious colleges and universities to nominate talented and scholarly students for a variety of highly competitive scholarships and fellowships. The Fellowships office provides advising and counseling for students who wish to compete for these awards as well as many other awards given at the university level, locally, nationally and internationally. Most of these scholarships are intended for use following the undergraduate years though some are given to juniors to be used over a period of years. Scholarships can be used for either or both educational programs and cultural study. Many involve language/culture study in developing countries. Some have no restrictions at all.
The office is located in Howarth Hall room 114J. Students with an interest in these awards should contact Sharon Chambers-Gordon who provides guidance for the complete application process.
Note: Each scholarship application which requires a university institutional nomination by the fellowships advisor will have a campus deadline prior to the actual deadline and will be sent directly from the Fellowships office under Sharon Chambers-Gordon's guidance.
