What do you hope to learn from your Richter experience this summer?

I hope to learn how to build my research competencies and my communication skills by collaborating with other students and working independently.

I choose to participate in the Richter Scholar Program because it is a great opportunity for me to learn how to do research and improve my writing skills. It will help me build confidence as a researcher. I am also eager to learn how education contributes to social development in multilingual African societies and the importance of indigenous languages in African education.
