Honors Thesis Research Leads to Woman of Distinction Award

Rebecca Scherpelz realizes now that work on her honors thesis about the child soldiers of northern Uganda actually started two years ago when she showed up for a campus screening of the video "Invisible Children."

There, she learned about the civil war that's been waged since 1986 and the children who are abducted by the rebel Lord's Resistance Army and forced to fight the Ugandan government.
