Alumni Profiles
The Center for Russia, East European & Eurasian Studies is proud of our graduates and maintains contact with our alumni long after they graduate.
I thought it was a very meaningful experience. Great professors, highly interesting coursework, and a great environment for learning.
The focus on language proficiency in conjunction with the broad strokes area studies improved my ability to critically think, read, and write.
