Michael G. Lewis

Mike in Salta, Argentina during his term abroad, Winter 2011

Spanish Honors Senior Project: “Un duelo nacional: El impacto cultural y sociopolítico de los atentados terroristas de Madrid”

Title of thesis in Political Science: “A New Crisis of the Republic: The Erosion of the Democratic Ideal”

Statement: “My junior year, I had the absolute privilege of studying abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I can honestly say it was one of the most unique and rewarding experiences of my life. Having spent years studying the Spanish language, nothing was more fascinating than spending 10 weeks completely immersed in the Argentine culture. My studies have provided me with a love for this culture, and the invaluable resource of the Spanish language.”
