\n<\/strong>The faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences make it particularly special as they will ensure you have the resources you need to succeed. And I have yet to have taken a boring class!<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Winning a national championship as a captain of the men’s club volleyball team was my proudest achievement.

\nWhat research projects, internships, and\/or study abroad programs did you participate in at URI? How did they enhance your education?
\n<\/strong>I studied abroad in Braunschweig, Germany in the fall of 2019. It was an incredible experience and I will always treasure the new connections I made, the trips throughout Europe I went on, and the international perspective on the world that I developed while I was abroad. <\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>I value the critical thinking skills that I developed as a result of my liberal arts education very highly. The ability to break down and analyze complex situations and evaluate new information is critical in today’s world. <\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>I will be returning to URI in the fall to pursue a master’s degree in International Relations. Once that is complete, I see myself working in the Foreign Service or potentially somewhere in education.
