Journey's End:
Wilson Fellows Present Research Findings

Greg Shih wanted to show the real people behind the public view of musicians.

Alison Calhoun brings to life the music and lyrics of a 17th century composer of French opera and Corey Seznec details the 300-year-old history of his family's land in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, while Greg Shih made a video that gets behind the curtain into the lives of three classical guitarists.

The three graduating seniors from Johns Hopkins University are among the first group of Woodrow Wilson Fellows to be leaving the university after pursuing undergraduate research projects, with funding and support from the Wilson program. Over three recent nights, the graduating Wilson scholars presented their research findings in a public setting.
