At the end of my first year here at W&M, I expressed an interest in Global Studies to my freshman adviser While it was difficult to narrow down what I wanted to study, she told me that the Russian Studies department was one of the best, most devoted faculties in the college. Since then, I’ve worked in our RPSS department for three years; the opportunities and experiences I’ve had here have helped to shape my entire William and Mary experience and my growth as a student. Through the Russian Department and the Reeves Center, I was able to study in St. Petersburg for six weeks, where I worked on an oral history project conducting interviews with native Russians. In addition to RPSS, I’ll graduate with a degree in Government and hope to teach English in Russia for a year before possibly attending law school.
