\nBefore Rachel Lang-Bald\u00e9\u2019s first trip to West Africa in 2002, she never knew anyone who had died in childbirth. During her almost four years spent in Guinea as an English teacher and consultant with community health and education nongovernmental organizations, she would come to know many mothers who wouldn\u2019t survive to hold their own child or even hear their first cries.
\nOne of her close friends, a doctor in Guinea named \u201cMama\u201d Cond\u00e9, became one of those mothers who died during childbirth. Cond\u00e9 and Lang-Bald\u00e9 had often talked about doing research that would help shed light on birth outcomes and maternal health in Guinea. Thanks to a Fulbright U.S. student grant, Lang-Bald\u00e9 is headed to Guinea in January to begin such research. A Ph.D. student in international family and community studies, Lang-Bald\u00e9 is one of four Clemson students selected to receive the prestigious Fulbright U.S. Student Program grants this year. The grants provide funding to live and study abroad on research projects or to work as English teaching assistants.
\nThe other Fulbright U.S. Student Program recipients from Clemson are:
