OUR FELLOWS
Victoria Olusola Adetunji grew up on a university campus in northern Nigeria where she was influenced by her father’s part-time livestockkeeping activities. “We kept pigs and poultry in our compound at the university, and vets used to come and treat the animals,” she says. This prompted her to study veterinary medicine.
Adetunji won a Junior Fulbright Scholarship in 2005—one of only eight scholarships awarded in Nigeria that year—to conduct PhD research at University of Georgia.
Field of Research
Adetunji chose this career because she wanted to help people. All of her research is geared toward improving livelihoods and food safety.
