Washington, D.C. 20006 To La Prensa Foundation Scholarship Selection Committee: I am writing a letter on behalf of Mr. Jose J Flores Contreras, an Business Administration student at SAC/ UTSA who is applying for La Prensa Foundation Scholarship .

Additionally, she was a discussion leader she grounded very difficult theory which helped alleviate some of the initial nervousness of the other students in the class.

Over the past year I have watched Janet’s interest in Peace and Conflict Studies blossom into a very powerful thesis topic on issues of gender and politics in Northern Ireland. My area of expertise is in the area of gender and nationalism in Northern Ireland; for this reason I am confident when I say she has chosen a fascinating topic for exploration. As part of her research,

She spent three months in Belfast conducting ethnographic and archival research. The NIWC is a cross-community coalition that was formed in 1996 and fully participated in the peace talks which led to the signing of the Easter Agreement. Recently, the NIWC has found itself at the center of
