2014 Noland Fellowship Awarded

Ross Winston ’15 of Charlotte, North Carolina, has been awarded Woodberry Forest School's 2014 Noland Summer Fellowship, enabling him to spend five weeks in Ghana where he will set up a computer lab at a rural school of 250 students. Ross plans to bring along fifteen to twenty donated computers and other hardware to install at the Church of Christ School in Winneba. He will also train students and teachers to use the new lab.

"I've always had a knack for technology," Ross says. His proficiency led him to be hired as the interim technology director at Trinity Episcopal School in Charlotte during the summer before his junior year at Woodberry. Ross will be working under the auspices of Projects Abroad, an educational non-profit that has placed more than sixty thousand volunteers in twenty-eight developing countries since 1992.

Woodberry Forest School's Noland Summer Fellowship program is funded by Lloyd “Bud” Noland III ’62, who established it with members of his family through the Noland Memorial Foundation in honor of his father. The program provides financial support to students who wish to pursue projects that, in Bud Noland’s words, “offer truly life-changing experiences to the very best Woodberry students.”
