We’re excited to announce this year’s Alex Cohn Grant recipients: Isabel Perez-Albuerne ’22 and Kayla Vinh ’22.
Isabel and Kayla will use research done during two upcoming student-directed projects and the funds provided to them to create a digital archive that will include family history, a series of essays, a compilation of primary sources, and a short film or documentary. These products will revolve around how the governmental systems of communist countries have affected both of their families—who sought political refuge from either Cuba or Vietnam—and how these countries have survived in an ever-growing capitalist world.
Congratulations Isabel and Kayla!
