Christopher Branco ’21
Spanish Major with a Concentration in Adolescence Education

"The modern languages department has not only helped me improve my Spanish, but it has made me feel more comfortable speaking the language outside of the classroom. I have a strong passion for learning new ways to communicate with others, and I see foreign language communication as something that brings people together, no matter your skill level or background."
