Language is one very important part of communication, but there is more to it.
I've visited 12 countries, met the love of my life, adopted a Georgian mountain dog, and published research papers for USAID.
“My honor thesis topic lead me to four months of fieldwork in a remote county in Yunnan Province, Western China.”
My experiences studying Italian at Mount Holyoke, interning at Universita' Ca' Foscari, studying abroad at the Universita' di Bologna, and working as an Italian tutor have all added up to be unforgettable and priceless experiences in my life.
If you have always dreamed of being an explorer, or if you are in love with the Italian language, I recommend this internship.
“My ancient studies major has propelled me into the world of archaeology and material culture. My goal is one day to be a museum curator.”
This opportunity gave me the chance to view my research in the context of sharing knowledge and communication and gave me so many valuable tools to take with me moving forward.
"During my study abroad in Tokyo, I listened to Japanese people's views on Japan's society, culture and foreign relations.
"I found many great opportunities but none more influential than my time in Japan through the Associated Kyoto Program."
I still carry what I learned in my Middle Eastern Studies major, the people I met, and my experiences abroad into all that I do.
