Stanford graduate student Alexandra Wexler has been awarded the 2011 Daniel Pearl Memorial Journalism Internship, which will have her working in a foreign Wall Street Journal bureau this summer, Stanford announced today.

Wexler is working toward a master’s degree in communication, specializing in journalism, which she expects to complete in June.
