Meagan graduated with a B.A. in languages, literatures, and cultures from Colorado State University. She served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Benin from 2007–2009, after which she earned her M.A. in cross-cultural and international education at Bowling Green State University as a Coverdell Fellow. Meagan’s goal is to develop college readiness indicators for a college preparatory program in a refugee camp in Rwanda. Her research project will explore students’ understandings of literacy and education, as well as the skills and strategies —often acquired outside of formal schooling— that serve them in the degree program. After completing her Ph.D. program, Meagan hopes to continue researching education for international refugee populations. Meagan is appreciative of the support provided by Texas State, which ranges from helping with countless rounds of application revisions to offering encouragement and guidance.
