Erica Erlanger

Title of Senior Project in French: "On natural disasters in the French Antilles and their relation to the geology of the region, the economy, and the literature."

She has been accepted at Purdue University for a Master's in Geology with tuition waived and a TA position.

She has also taken courses in Spanish.

Statement:  "The French program allows you to learn about and explore French culture, and in doing so, you learn so many more things about yourself you would have never imagined. My experience on the French miniterm to Martinique allowed me to write a thesis that combines my two majors, French and geology, a work that I feel truly embodies the complexity and creativity of the curriculum I have followed at Union."
