Name: Sebastian Richardson

Anticipated degree(s): BA, Russian, 2016

What do you plan to do with your fluency?

I plan on pursuing a career with a government agency or possibly a non profit organization with a focus on international aid and development. 

What attracted you to RFP?

What attracted me to RFP was the program's emphasis on language proficiency and the opportunities the program opens up. 

What’s the best aspect of being in RFP?

In the RFP we have the most dedicated and helpful staff and faculty. We get a lot of attention due to our small class sizes and our countless resources.   

Why is fluency in Russian important to you?

The ability to speak a second language will allow me to possess a set of skills that not many Americans have today which will put me ahead in the job market. I also feel very passionate about the culture and history of Russia and I love the challenge a language like Russian presents.
