Congratulations to Michael Ward, who worked multiple roles on the From Africa to Patagonia Collaboratory project. Ward will be headed to Stanford University’s graduate program in education in addition to the Stanford “STEP” program (Stanford Teacher Education Program) in July 2021.
Ward reached out to share his thoughts about his Collaboratory experience: “Working in the Collaboratory was the university experience that prepared me the most for life after undergrad. I didn’t realize just how much I had learned until I had graduated and was working in Taiwan on a Fulbright grant. I found success as a Fulbrighter because everything that I was asked to do — coordinate between various schools on different projects, analyze student testing data, present the details of my job to undergrad students, draft bi-weekly reports — I had actually practiced before as a collaborator on the From Africa to Patagonia Collaboratory project.”
Ward graduated from Michigan in 2019 with a BA in RLL (Spanish & French, Honors) and minors in Translation Studies, Computer Science, and Asian Languages and Cultures.
