Loyola's NewEST Fulbright Scholar
Katherine Cioch Earns Fulbright Award to Study in Poland
The Fellowship Office congratulates Katherine Cioch, who was awarded with a Fulbright Full Research Grant for 2009-10 in Poland. In 2008, Katherine earned a B.A. in Political Science and a B.S. in Psychology, and in May 2009 she completed her M.A. in International and Comparative Politics. Her proposed research focuses upon human trafficking, a complex, international phenomenon that has grown exponentially with the increase of globalization. Katherine seeks to investigate and evaluate the role of The La Strada Foundation Against Trafficking in Persons and Slavery, a Polish NGO dedicated to combating and preventing human trafficking in Poland. A primary goal of her research is to provide insight into how anti-trafficking NGOs and government institutions can work to better prevent this problem, and whether the successful measures utilized by this organization in Poland can be replicated in other countries where human trafficking is especially problematic.
Congratulations Katherine on a job very well done, and best wishes on such an important research endeavor.
