The Magic Treehouse series first exposed me to history. Throughout my childhood and teenage years I began to explore the subject more deeply. I became fascinated with Russian history, which led me to study Russian language at Notre Dame. I have combined these interests by picking up a global affairs supplementary major to study international relations. One day I hope to work in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs in the U.S. Department of State, fostering beneficial relations between the United States and Eastern European nations.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the course of the past two semesters, Professor Marullo and Professor Miller inspired me to study Russian in an immersion program this summer. This spring I secured a place in a program in Russia, but the Russian invasion of Ukraine forced me to consider another location. I decided on Batumi, Georgia because of its beautiful beaches, amazing hiking, and great food. I also have two Georgian friends on campus and I knew the trip would allow me to grow closer to them through immersing myself in their culture. Over the course of this summer, I want to greatly improve my Russian language skills and broaden my global perspective. These skills will help me significantly as I pursue a career in international relations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E-mail: lgibson2@nd.eduLanguage:\u00a0RussianLocation of Study: Batumi, GeorgiaProgram of Study: Batumi: Russian as a Second Language, SRASSponsor: The Center for the Study of Languages and Cultures Visit Liam&#8217;s Blog I am a freshman from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania majoring in history and global affairs and living in Pangborn Hall.
