Rebecca Bronstein chosen as a 2014 Plastino Scholar

2014 May 20

Rebecca Bronstein has been awarded a grant from the Plastino Scholars Program to carry out a self-designed, off-campus research project.

Bronstein will work on a permaculture garden at an ecovillage in Iceland, learn from another ecovillage in Scotland, and volunteer with the first sustainable town in Ireland. In January, she will visit the Seneca Treehouse Project in South Carolina, a sustainable community and learning center. As a member of Newark's Down To Earth Co-op, Bronstein plans to bring what she learns back to her own community.

David Plastino, a 1978 graduate of UD's College of Arts and Sciences, established the Plastino Scholars Program in 2007 to give students a chance to explore their passions.
