Rettig '05 to Rwanda on Fulbright

According to the Rockville Register Star, Max Rettig ‘05 is on his way to Rwanda on a Fulbright scholarship.

[T]hrough face-to-face interaction and interviews with Rwandan genocide survivors as well as prisoners, Rettig … will study how the country copes with genocide, he said. A major part of his study will focus on the role of community-based trials, called “gacaca,” in the healing process.

Even though Rettig doesn’t actually have a place to stay yet—“That’s a hurdle he’ll have to jump when he arrives in Rwanda”—the Register Star reports that his parents are “surprisingly calm” about the trip.
