Thomas Jefferson scholars enjoys all aspects of a Saint Mary's education

November 11, 2016 (Notre Dame, Ind.) — Rahma Teyeb was selected to be a Thomas Jefferson Scholar at Saint Mary’s for the 2016-2017 academic year. Teyeb is a third year undergraduate student at Tunis Business School where she plans to study Business and Decision Making and Global Affairs when she returns next year.

Upon receiving the news that she would be attending an all women’s institution, she did not know what to expect. With initial nervousness, she has been pleasantly surprised by the respect students showed for both her and her culture. She has enjoyed her first couple months at Saint Mary’s and said that she has been challenged both personally and academically.

Teyeb stays busy on campus as she is on the Saint Mary’s College Robotics Team, Belles for Business, and Around the World Club. She has also done service work at the South Bend Chamber of Commerce, where she plans to intern in the spring.
