Congratulations to Zorba Leslie '07, who is one of three UPS seniors who have been awarded the prestigious Watson Fellowship. Zorba's project is entitled "Finding Justice: Learning to Reconcile the Past to Live the Present." During the fellowship period Zorba will visit Chile, South Africa, Rwanda and Cambodia in order "to assess the effectiveness of the retributive and restorative methods of securing justice available to post-conflict societies as they attempt to strike a balance between forgiveness and vengeance."
We are proud of Zorba's success and wish him well on his journey. If you are interested in applying for the Watson, you can find out more details here. If you will be a senior next year, now is the time to start thinking about a Watson proposal; deadline for the application will be early next fall. Come see me if you are thinking about applying.
