Spanish Major Outcome Stories
Rebekah Boyer '23

“I am most proud of being part of the Eisenhower Institute Undergraduate Fellowship program. Being surrounded by seven other intelligent and hard-working seniors who had such a passion and drive for the topic was an incredible experience,” said Boyer, who is a triple major in political science, Spanish, and international and global studies. “Being able to take our knowledge to Paris and hold amazing discussions and presentations has given me such a sense of fulfillment that I am on the right career track.” Boyer served as section leader of the color guard in the Bullets Marching Band and held several officer roles in her sorority Sigma Sigma Sigma. She studied abroad in Argentina, participated in EI programs Inside Civil Rights and Inside Washington, and was a member of Model United Nations all four years.
