She is currently designing a chimney for thatched-roof huts that would provide heat and reduce the indoor air pollution that results from using wood fires to cook food indoors. And in addition to project ideas, Stenson returned home with a curious souvenir: dreadlocks, courtesy of a South African salon. Back on campus, Stenson stays active. An avid backpacker, she has served on the steering committee...
