Student Spotlights

Students & Campus
Katie Kerns — Concentration in Russian
“Taking any language helps you understand grammar and logical thinking. With Russian, sentences can be formatted really differently from English, and you see ways of using language that you may not have seen before. It gives you an appreciation for that and an ability to be flexible and creative with your own diction.” -

Sergio Jaquez Caro — Concentration in Russian
“Studying another language has fortified my abilities to adapt and immerse into academic material. Over the time I’ve studied Russian, I have also developed close relationships with my peers and faculty... I think my program’s faculty are among the most supportive and encouraging that DU has to offer.” -

Zach Kaplan — Concentration in Russian
“My favorite aspect of DU's Russian program is the freedom to explore the language’s nuances and beauty as an art form rather than a set of rigid rules... This approach to language-learning and community-building has enabled me to connect with others in the Russian community while improving my proficiency in a fun and unique way.”

Mary Parks — Concentration in French & Francophone Studies
"I had the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Paris, France! While living with a Parisienne family and going to school with Parisienne students, I can absolutely say that my French courses at DU contributed to both my ability and confidence when it came to interlingual and intercultural communication. I think the French & study abroad department at DU prepared me to think on the fly in another language, to have patience with myself while learning, to be open to new experiences, and to be curious without being inconsiderate. I would highly recommend a major/minor in a language to accompany a travel abroad experience if you're looking to truly immerse yourself in a culture, get to know local people, find cool places or events, and get the most out of your traveling experiences!"

"I never planned to major in German, but studying a second language at DU opened more doors than I ever would have imagined. LLC training at DU provides you with the unique skills and world experiences to stand out to any employer - often as a perfect complement to another degree program. Although it may start as fulfilling a language requirement, before you know it, it may become your passion, and you use your training to advance the transatlantic relationship!"
