Statement: "The French program at Union college has provided me with many great opportunities and has broadened my cultural horizons. I am proud to receive this great honor at Union College and owe this recognition to all of my French professors that have challenged me to become the student I am today. Having the opportunity to study abroad in Rennes, France allowed me to grow and develop a true understanding of the language and rich culture in France. After I graduate I hope to continue my passion for writing and speaking in another language with a focus on international business."
