Bradenton's Silvia Ulloa to Visit Sweden's Iragi Refugees
Södertälje, Sweden, is an industrial city of 86,200 people 19 miles south of Stockholm, the nation’s capital. It is the manufacturing base of European trucking giant Scania AB and AstraZeneca, the world’s fifth-largest pharmaceutical company, and it is also the hometown of tennis legend Bjorn Borg. Come August Silvia Ulloa will also call it home, too, but for an entirely different and meaningful reason for the graduating New College senior. The recipient of a prestigious Fulbright research grant will spend 10 months studying the Iragi refugee community of 6,000 who resettled in Södertälje after the start of the second Iraq war.
