Emmanuela Oppong named Davis Scholar

2018 May 8

Emmanuela Oppong, of Bronx, NY, will return to her native Ghana to help children living in an orphanage learn sustainable skills to better prepare them for life.

Called "Stitching Talents," Oppong's project will create a vocational school where children will learn tailoring, crocheting, knitting, cloth printing and dyeing, shoemaking and other skills.

Oppong is the latest Union College student to win a Kathryn Wasserman Davis Projects for Peace award.
