International Affairs and Modern Languages (IAML)

 

Greek life.

 

I love that my major combines my lifelong goal of becoming fluent in Spanish with an area that I have always been interested in, the way that other cultures and countries act and intertwine. It is super fascinating to see different countries' mindsets on politics as well as the evolution of world politics. 

 

I love that liberal arts at Georgia Tech is a tight-knit community of people. I know the people that I am in my classes so we can all work together to succeed in a class. I also love that I get to know my professors because many of my classes are not huge lecture-style classes so I receive more one-on-one time with the professor. 

 

Honors Leadership Council (community outreach), Gt Salsa (Rueda team, salsa, bachata), will soon be a part of 34/84 magazine.

 

I like that I am able to focus on both policy and culture simultaneously. I think it is really important to understand the communities that are being impacted by policy, and IAML does a great job at providing cultural nuance through language classes that focus on literature, communication differences, etc. while also instilling concrete knowledge about world affairs and the international system.

 

I love that liberal arts at Tech is such a tight-knit community of people who are genuinely curious about their respective fields. It is also really nice to be able to have access to the technological materials Tech offers because they make liberal arts research, media design, etc. easy to use. There are so many resources for the liberal arts because of the duality that Tech has to offer.

I have completed an internship at the Goethe Zentrum (German Cultural Center) of Atlanta, I have studied abroad in Germany and Austria on the German LBAT, and I am currently studying abroad at Georgia Tech Europe in Metz, France.

 

I love the mix of languages and international affairs, as there are inherently many overlaps between the two skills. Knowing how to talk to different people with different backgrounds is integral in international affairs, and I am happy to have the opportunity to improve that skill at Georgia Tech with the IAML major.

 

I love the connection and involvement that the professors have with the students pursuing any type of liberal arts degree at GT. Every professor I have talked to/taken a class from has been incredibly supportive of my goals and has helped me get more connected in the GT Liberal Arts community.

I have worked as a Kitchen Assistant for Zwilling J.A. Henckles. I have also completed a National Outdoor Leadership School program.

 

I have enjoyed learning how to bridge the gap between cultural studies and technology. Through studying International Affairs and Modern Languages, I love learning about how to create a real-world impact in communities worldwide.

 

I love the unique opportunity to watch my peers develop technology as I gain the skills through humanities that will support them in the future is a valuable and inspiring experience.
