Two Merrill Graduate Students Receive Fellowships for Travel to Japan

Two master’s students at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism, Holly Nunn and Kerry Davis, were recently awarded fellowships by the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership. The fellowship program, administered by Emerson College, will enable them to travel to Japan later this month to meet Japanese politicians, senior bureaucrats, business leaders, US foreign correspondents and Japanese journalists.

Nunn and Davis will travel to Japan with fellows from Columbia University, Kansas University, Indiana University, Missouri University, New York University, Northwestern University, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Southern California and Emerson College.

Holly Nunn is the College’s 2010 Kennedy Fellow, and she currently interns for The Prince George’s Sentinel. Kerry Davis holds an Eleanor Merrill fellowship and serves as the master’s president of the Merrill Graduate Student Association. Both students will join the Annapolis bureau of the Capital News Service in the spring.

Congratulations to Ms. Nunn and Ms. Davis on the receipt of these fellowships. We are proud to have them as ambassadors for Merrill College, and we wish them safe travels abroad.
