Minor in Spanish
Grew From Studying a Foreign Language
"A study of foreign language has prepared me for graduate school through the sheer growth of personality and character. I'm less shy, more empathetic, and a better listener as a result of immersing myself in the literature and language of other cultures."
Neil Sagucio, BA in Spanish, pursing a master's degree in Employment and Labor Relations at IUP
