Northeastern Grad Follows Nicholas Kristof Trip With Separate New York Times Summer Fellowship

Northeastern University is today celebrating the summer accomplishments of College of Arts, Media and Design 2017 graduate Aneri Pattani. As this year’s winner of New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristoff’s annual “Win a Trip” contest (the essay she submitted related her experience of interviewing residents in unincorporated areas of Texas near the Mexico border), she spent a week in June alongside the Pulitzer Prize winner in Liberia. And her learning experience continues:

Since returning from her trip to Liberia, Pattani has been working on The New York Times’ health and science desk as part of her James Reston Reporting Fellowship—another prestigious opportunity she applied for and received separate from her reporting trip with Kristof.
