Description
In 2013, Sasheene Denny became the first Native American student to win the Davies-Jackson scholarship to study at the University of Cambridge. She earned a second BA in History. Writing after having won the scholarship, she said: “My mom is both epically terrified and immensely proud, my best friend can’t stop bragging about me to random strangers, my other friends are all so supportive and the professors I’ve been lucky enough to learn from have been incredible in both their willingness to help me navigate studying abroad and in their pride in me. And me? I can’t stop thinking about the fact that I have never stepped foot outside of the country before and now I’m going to the United Kingdom for two years.”
