"Studying languages opens up your linguistics and cultural experiences. It helps you build your communication skills, and you become an active listener and a more open-minded person. After graduation, I started my Master's in French Linguistics and became a French teacher at a secondary school. The year after, during my Fulbright journey in Vietnam, my French skills became useful, as I met Vietnamese people who shared their stories of learning French and their experiences in French-speaking countries" - Bryan Tran '21
See how our faculty, alumni, and students are shaping the world.
“For Bryan, teaching is not just his chosen profession, it is his passion. Bryan’s opportunity to be a Fulbright ETA in Vietnam is professionally and personally fulfilling, and his experiences will help him to realize his dream of developing culturally diverse and inclusive pedagogy.”
The Middle East and Islamic Studies (MEIS) minor program has been the recipient of a $152,000 Undergraduate International Studies Foreign Languages grant from the Department of Education. This grant will significantly help to promote the formation of much-needed language experts in the less-commonly taught languages such as Arabic.
Overall, I have explored, struggled and overcame. In the end, everything comes along, supplementary to, I have lifetime stories to tell. I have no regrets but gratitude for taking advantage of the opportunity.
