Dr. Lee Ann De Reus (pictured in the blue blazer), Co-Founder of the Panzi Foundation, USA, was this year’s Distinguished Donahue Scholar. She came to Lasell and spoke to students last Tuesday about her activism work and the importance of supporting rape victims in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
