School Spotlight: Uganda experience renews love of teaching

Of all the experiences Madison native Katherine Anderson has gained while student teaching near Kasese, Uganda, perhaps one of the most important was to “fall in love with teaching again.” Anderson, 23 and a Memorial High School graduate, left for Uganda after graduating with honors in elementary education from UW-Madison. She applied for the UW International Academic Program through the School of Education. She and fellow UW graduate Jenna Oskey are teaching at Rwentutu Christian Community School in the small village of Rwentutu near Kasese, Uganda.
