Bethany Berhanu ’20 Receives Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship
The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship program was established (1988) through the generosity of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to expand minority faculty in higher education.
Bethany Berhanu ’20 was selected as a Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellow. She will be working with Professor Vyjayanthi Selinger on a research project that combines her double majors of Asian studies and psychology to explore how Japanese popular culture (anime, manga, fashion, etc.) allows for discussion of mental health issues in a culture that stigmatizes such discussions.
