MMUF fellow G. Maris Jones, who graduated this year from Brown University, was recently profiled in the Brown Alumni Magazine. Maris, who concentrated in anthropology and Portugese/Brazilian studies as an undergraduate, describes how a childhood dance instructor implanted in her a desire to attend Brown - a dream she realized even after her family lost their home in Hurricane Katrina.
Following graduation, Maris will be working with the Episcopal Service Corps in Hawaii, and eventually plans to enter graduate school in environmental anthropology.
