Among
the eight 1998-99 scholars-in-residence from Africa was a fine
arts teacher from Makerere University in Uganda. Rose Kirumira,
an artist well known in her home country, specializes in the sculpture
of the human form in wood, clay and concrete.
She spent the fall 1998 semester lecturing on African art to
students at De Anza College, a community college in California.
Kirumira's grant illustrates the potential of the program to bring
together scholars and students who may never have otherwise had
the opportunity to interact in an academic setting.
