As long as I put the effort in, there was a path and there was a support. I was able to go abroad, to Ecuador for a semester, and there I established contacts to be able to develop a project. And I got a Phillips Fellowship and various other complementary grants to do research in traditional medicine last summer in Latin America. And now I&#8217;m off to do a year on a Watson Fellowship in four different regions of the world. I&#8217;m doing what I love to do, and I do owe it, lots of it, to Bates, to the community, to my friends, to the administration, and to the professors for believing in me. And I know although this chapter is ending, there are seeds that I have in the ground with everyone and connections that, at a given point, will flower. And that flower is going to be beautiful.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diana Shaghayegh Sepehri, from Gold River, California, and Iran &#8211; &#8220;At Bates,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":2329,"menu_order":6,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_dimp_site_id":"","_dimp_override_contact":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":""},"class_list":["post-2344","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2344"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2344\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3979,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2344\/revisions\/3979"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
