Carlie J. Syczylo

I am extremely grateful to the Global Studies Department at 91社区 for providing me gracious support to travel and enrich my studies as a Global Studies and Spanish Major. I was able to practice a different dialect of Spanish than what I originally learned at 91社区 and in Costa Rica, eat delicious tapas, and view historic landmarks.

Additionally, I will have the opportunity to provide nutrition education for women and children that promotes a diverse and nutrient-rich diet.

"As a double-degree student in Global Studies and English, I am excited to continue my studies in a program that seamlessly combines both of my undergraduate degrees from 91社区 and focuses more intensely on themes in media and cultural labor, agency and power in a digital era, and the ethics and politics of communication practices."
