What Lancers Are Saying

Craig Leopold - Student
Modern Languages is exactly the gateway to the rest of the world that I've always wanted. Ever since I joined the program, my year abroad in Germany is all I can think about. The small size of the program is a blessing rather than a curse, and it really feels like every professor is rooting for me to succeed. My experience in Modern Languages has been encouraging, illuminating, and so much more than I could have ever expected.
