Department of Genetics and Biochemistry students Elizabeth Polatty and Addison Vondersaar have been selected to explore global policy issues through the Honors College’s selective Dixon Global Policy Scholars program, which provides students with the tools to change the world through a combination of public policy coursework and a transformative study abroad trip to Europe, all while applying academic theory to real-world issues.
Over the next two to three years, Elizabeth and Addison will have the opportunity to explore global concepts in more detail through coursework and faculty-guided research focused on global policy issues, before developing their own policy proposals.
The Dixon Global Policy Scholars program was established through an endowment from the Dixon family. Joseph E. Dixon ’39 and his wife, Carolyn, were dedicated members of the Clemson community and active supporters of their local community.
Congrats Elizabeth and Addison!
