Graduate Ready

For Gabrielle that chapter included the fulfillment of her longtime dream to teach the English language in Argentina as a recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship. As a student, Gabrielle studied Spanish and history and was encouraged to seek out learning experiences that would allow her to apply her studies in real-world settings. She spent a semester abroad in Argentina as a junior and began work on an ongoing research project that included interviews with the native people. Gabrielle credits the guidance of IC faculty and her experiences as a student with giving her the confidence to take on her next challenge. 

“Without the encouragement of Dr. Steven Gardner, Dr. Margaret Marek, Dr. Steve Hochstadt and Dr. Robert Kunath, I do not think I would have had the courage to pursue such an ambitious goal. While my coursework and extracurricular experiences certainly made me a competitive candidate, professors that pushed me to seek the best opportunities made the Fulbright a reality for me.”
