Woolman alum wins John Lennon Memorial Scholarship

Rebecca Garnault, a Spring 2010 alum and Woolman's first international student, was recently awarded the John Lennon Memorial Scholarship at the University of Liverpool. The scholarship is awarded based on academic merit an a "demonstrable interest in global, community or environmental issues." Becky's application focused on her work at Woolman, which included a documentary film on the experience of refugees in the United States, a sustainability project focused on water scarcity and rain water catchment, and a YAP project focused on conflict minerals in the Congo. 

One requirement of the scholarship is that Becky write a thank you letter to Ms. Yoko Ono - whom she plans to tell all about Woolman. 

Congratulations, Becky!
