An IUP alumna is heading to London this fall as a Fulbright Scholar.
Kayla Anthony, a 2011 summa cum laude graduate of IUP in theater arts and French, has been awarded a Fulbright to study heritage management at Queen Mary University of London. Her research will focus on using technology in historic spaces, in partnership with the group that manages sites like the Tower of London and Kensington Palace.
Originally from Johnstown, Anthony now lives in Philadelphia, where she serves as executive director of PhilaLandmarks, a nonprofit that stewards four 18th-century historic houses, including the Powel House. She plans to apply her Fulbright experience directly to her work there.
Anthony is the 21st IUP student to receive a Fulbright since 1968. Her application was supported by IUP faculty, and she credits a semester abroad in France during her time at IUP for sparking her passion for preservation.
