3 Language Schools Alumni Receive Fulbright Awards

Sydney Armor ’24, an international and global studies major from Rancho Mirage, California, has received a study/research award for Austria.

“My project seeks to explore place and identity in culturally gendered roles among migrant women in Austria,” wrote Armor in her proposal. “I will work with Graz-based DIVAN, an entity of the organization Caritas, which provides native language counseling for migrant women, mostly from Eastern Europe and the Middle East, who have been victims of honor-based violence and forced marriage.”

Demetra (Alex) Evangelidis ’24, a global studies major and political science minor from Hastings on Hudson, New York, has received an English Teaching Assistantship award for Germany.

“I want to be a part of the Fulbright ETA program in Germany because I deeply believe in its mission to expand cultural understanding and exchange between our two countries,” wrote Evangelidis in her proposal. “Teaching English is the perfect platform for me to take part in this cultural exchange…I am particularly passionate about teaching those with immigrant backgrounds because I have lived through the challenges they face and understand the opportunities that learning English brings.”

Kenta Togo ’23, a mathematics and Spanish major from Mount Kisco, New York, has received an English Teaching Assistantship for Costa Rica.

“Engaging with a Costa Rican community would allow me to grow as a Spanish speaker and learn about Costa Rican culture,” Toto wrote in his proposal. “I would be especially excited to do this in a rural community because of the greater possibilities for language and culture immersion compared to a big city.”
