Andrea Flinn Received Critical Language Scholarship

Andrea Flinn, PhD student in the Applied Linguistics and Technology program of the English Department, was recently awarded a Critical Language Scholarship to study Arabic in Meknes, Morocco. The Critical Language Scholarship provides summer study abroad opportunities for American university and college students to learn foreign languages in immersive environments.  Because recent global events will prevent Andrea from traveling internationally this summer, she will instead be studying stateside at Middlebury College.  

"The CCE was incredibly supportive and encouraging throughout the application process.  I’m grateful that I can continue working with Nationally Competitive Award consultant Kristin Terrill when I reapply. She has a real talent for improving essays’ organization.  I’m not sure I understood the value of getting a second pair of eyes on a paper until I went to one of her writing consultations." Read More
