Whitebean has also been involved with Study Buddies, a Hamilton group that tutors inner city middle school students.
Whitebean was a panelist for the Council on Undergraduate Research, Successful Practices in Undergraduate Research: A path to innovation and competitiveness in Washington, D.C. in 2007. She spent five summers conducting science research at Hamilton. She was first exposed to college-level research in high school when she took part in a two-summer exploratory science program coordinated by the Oneida Indian Nation and Hamilton College. Whitebean analyzed honeybee behavior maturation with Professor of Biology Herm Lehmann and Bryden Considine '08.
Whitebean participates in Hamilton College Alumni Leadership training and is a member of the Senior Gift committee. She serves as an intern for Hamilton's Alumni Relations office. She was a member of the Hamilton women's varsity basketball team in 2004-05 and has been a volunteer for Hamilton's Trust Treat Halloween celebration.
The purpose of the Fulbright Program is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries through the exchange of persons, knowledge and skills. The program is designed to give recent college graduates opportunities for personal development and international experience.
It offers invaluable opportunities to meet and work with people of the host country, sharing daily life as well as professional and creative insights. The program promotes cross-cultural interaction and mutual understanding on a person-to-person basis in an atmosphere of openness, academic integrity and intellectual freedom. The primary source of funding for the Fulbright Program is an annual appropriation made by Congress to the Department of State. The U.S. Student Program awards approximately 900 grants annually and currently operates in more than 140 countries worldwide.
Whitebean plans to pursue a master's degree in education and become a public school teacher upon her return from South Korea. She is the daughter of Jean and Peter Whitebean of Mill Street in Fabius, N.Y.
