International study scholarships awarded to Wake Forest University students

June 12, 2009

Three Wake Forest University students have received ACC-IAC Scholarships for international study. 

The ACC-IAC, or Inter-institutional Academic Collaborative, coordinates academic initiatives among universities whose athletic teams compete in the Atlantic Coast Conference.  The ACC-IAC scholarships support study abroad in locations where it would be difficult for a single university to sustain a full program.

Each of the recipients will study abroad this fall.

Julie Kestner, a Wake Forest junior from Tokyo, Japan, will study in Delhi, India.  Her major is philosophy.

Laura Pinnie, a Wake Forest junior from West Chester, Penn., will study in Yaoundé, Cameroon.  Her major is business.

Christine Thompson, a Wake Forest senior from Nashville, Tenn., will study in the United Arab Emirates.  Her major is communication.
