She is pursuing a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Anthropology, with a minor in Religion and Cultural Studies, as well as Creative Writing. Foster is a member of Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society and a student in the Burnett Honors College. Her fellowship research focuses on international collaboration with India\u2019s Space Research Organization. On being the India Fellow she states: \u201cBeing aware of a country so far away, and yet so closely tied to the U.S. has helped to expand my international awareness and given me a chance to care about issues outside of myself. I have always been interested in the culture and traditions of India; researching the nuances of their daily successes and struggles has given me a deeper understanding of India\u2019s history and future goals.\u201d GPII awards the India Fellowship to one student each fall and spring semester.
