Excerpt from the Pulitzer Center

The Pulitzer Center and members of its Campus Consortium network have selected nine students to receive international reporting fellowships. The fellowship recipients will report on a range of global issues from around the world, and be mentored by Pulitzer Center-supported journalists and staff over the course of their projects. The student reporting fellowships are awarded as a part of the Campus Consortium program, a growing network of 15 colleges and universities that have partnered with the Pulitzer Center.

Keyla Beebe, a junior studying English and communications at Guilford College, is the first student fellow to publish her project this year. Beebe had previously traveled throughout Latin America and Europe, and this reporting project brought her to Cambodia, where she examined the effectiveness of policies dealing with the causes of deforestation and the consequences for rural households. Read her reporting on the disappearing rainforests of Cambodia.

Guilford College is a part of geographic consortium in North Carolina's Piedmont Triad region of which High Point University and Wake Forest University are members.
