Mercy Bourdet
Graduation: 2014
Major: Anthropology
A Posey Global Fellowship gave Mercy Bourdet the opportunity to make her lifelong dream of traveling to Africa a reality. It also changed her life.
“I taught classes at a school in Ghana that is supported by Literacy Beyond Borders,” she says. “Though I really enjoyed teaching, I realized interacting with the people and learning about their daily lives was my true passion. Anthropology is what I’m meant to major in.”
