Rose Schwietz ’13, Mendota Heights, had heard about the Fulbright Scholarship program while she was a student at UMN Morris, but didn’t apply to the program until 2019.
After completing her English degree at Morris, Schwietz had been teaching theatre at a Nepali high school. She became curious about the country’s traditional theatre forms but discovered that there were very few resources about the topic.
She decided if she couldn’t find the resources, she’d create them. And since many of the people she met in Nepal were current or recent Fulbrighters, she submitted a proposal to research seven dance-drama forms across Nepal.
