What do you plan to do with your fluency in Russian? 
I hope to have a career that uses Russian, ideally in foreign service or other government sectors.

What attracted you to the PSU Russian Flagship? 
I learned of the Russian Flagship during a summer Russian class at Bryn Mawr College. It seemed like a great way to keep up my intensive study of Russian throughout all four years of college. 

What’s the best aspect of being in the PSU Russian Flagship? 
Access to a community of Russian learners at all levels who are excited about the language as well as access to tutors. 

Why is fluency in Russian important to you? 
Russian is important to me in part because of my heritage. Additionally, I have invested so much time learning about and coming to appreciate the Russian language and culture that it has become a major part of my life.
