“As a French major and a Spanish minor, I’ve applied what I’m learning to real-life circumstances -- and that is important to me. I interned at a local refugee resettlement agency and made great connections. I've built both interpersonal skills and language skills. I also learn a lot about international relations and business, providing me with unique experiences and knowledge that I've applied to my studies here at Capital and will definitely use in my future.”
-Riley Cochran, International Studies, French, Class of 2020
