The idea came to Eckerd College senior Macey Woodlock during a conversation with a coworker at Integrated Refugee Services, an arm of Gulf Coast Jewish Family and Community Services<\/a>, a local nonprofit.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cWe get a lot of refugees who come there because there\u2019s a lot of conflict in East African countries, and a lot of the refugees speak Swahili,\u201d explains Macey, an international relations and global affairs<\/a> and environmental studies<\/a> student from Crystal Lake, Illinois, who volunteers at Gulf Coast. \u201cA coworker from Kenya suggested I learn it, and I thought being able to speak the language of so many clients would be really helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n

She\u2019ll get a chance to do just that. Macey recently became the third Eckerd College student to receive a prestigious Boren Scholarship<\/a>. As part of the Scholarship\u2019s African Flagship Languages Initiative, Macey will travel to Tanzania later this year to study the native language\u2014Swahili. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to get used to things the way they are,\u201d Macey says. \u201cThis will definitely be something different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eckerd\u2019s previous Boren Scholars and the year and language selected were Lucas Seipp-Williams \u201903 (2001, Thai) and Zachary Liggett \u201996 (1994, Japanese).<\/p>\n

Launched in 2011, the African Flagship Languages Initiative aims to increase the number of Boren Scholars and Fellows engaged in the study of African languages. All Boren students are required to participate in an eight-week full-time intensive program offered in person at the University of Florida in June and July. Students then travel abroad for a full-time overseas immersion fall semester of language and culture study administered by American Councils for International Education.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]The Boren Scholarship provides up to $25,000 for students to study language and culture abroad.

\u201cMost of my coworkers are former refugees who speak at least three languages,\u201d Macey adds. \u201cIn America, we can get away with speaking just English. But being able to communicate with these individuals makes immigration easier for the refugees. This is really important. My goal is to work for the State Department and use my skills to work with resettlement projects or on regulatory policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Burch, Ph.D.<\/a>, associate professor of political science at Eckerd, has conducted research in Uganda and North Africa, among several other countries. He has Macey in his African Politics class this semester and emphasizes the importance of the Boren Award.<\/p>\n

\u201cMacey may not be completely fluent by the end of her time there, but even being able to engage in basic communication breaks down barriers and improves relationships,\u201d Burch says. \u201cSwahili is a very widely spoken language around East Africa; an estimated 60 to 80 million people have it as a first or second language. But so few people from the West attempt to learn the language.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been impressed with Macey\u2019s inquisitiveness and interest in the greater world around her,\u201d Burch adds. \u201cThis will open doors that she didn\u2019t even know existed. She could end up with a career in the region dealing with international development or environmental issues. And it\u2019s important for the College because it demonstrates that you can build out a competitive application for these hard-to-achieve scholarships.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, only 12 students across the country were chosen to go to Tanzania. It\u2019s a very rigorous, very selective program.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
