Russian culture club
During my sophomore year, I joined the Russian culture club to learn more about Russian traditions and customs. I was able to contribute to the club by helping organize events and perform at various celebrations, such as the Fall Fest and Maslenitsa. The club gave me the opportunity to connect with others and apply all the knowledge I learned in my Russian courses.

International related events
Participating in campus events and meeting new people is the best way to connect with others. I have participated in multiple international celebrations and events. Some of my favorites were the celebration of El Día de los Muertos and the Latin American Summit, where I met Dolores Huerta, a labor leader, and civil rights activist who led the farm workers' movement along César Chavez in the 1960s.

Indiana University Bloomington Intensive Russian Program - Summer 2022
During the summer of 2022, I embarked on an adventure to travel to Bloomington, Indiana to study in an intensive Russian program. It was a challenge! The program was twelve hours of instruction every day over the course of eight weeks, and students are expected to complete an entire language level. I could not believe that I was acquiring proficiency towards the end of the summer. After completing the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI), I felt confident about my language learning progress. Now, I'm able to carry out a conversation on various topics. I highly recommend the IU Language Workshop!
