华盛顿, PA(1月21日), 2022) – Clara Sherwood ’22 is founding her professional future one country at a time.
Sherwood – a triple major in music and conflict resolution, international研究, and Spanish – recently won the 詹姆斯·G. Stemler 出国留学 Scholarship from the Alpha Lambda Delta (ALD) honor society. Sherwood used the Awards学金 in fall 2021 to complete a semester abroad experience independently from W&J’s study abroad programs, which were affected by the pandemic. Sherwood studied at the Pablo de Olavide University in Sevilla, Spain.
“Studying abroad was crucial to my goals in Spanish language fluency and becoming a future international public servant,舍伍德说. “In addition to taking courses at [Pablo de Olavide], I also pursued flamenco voice and dance lessons and visited numerous countries in Western Europe.”
She is sincerely grateful to Dr. Leslie Dunn, Associate Professor of Economics, and Dr. 苏珊Vdovichenko, Assistant Professor of Russian, for their guidance throughout her educational career.
“我必须感谢菲利普大夫. Dunn for helping me perfect my ALD Awards学金 before submission, as well as Dr. Vdovichenko for consistently providing me with support for every Awards学金 and fellowship that I apply for,舍伍德说. “I would highly recommend taking Dr. Vdovichenko’s JayTerm class on writing applications for prestigious Awardss because this course helped me develop into a successful Awards学金 applicant.”
Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, Sherwood also studied abroad in Morocco, 冈比亚, 塞内加尔, 和捷克共和国. She believes these experiences were instrumental to her success as a student.
“A major factor in my choice of W&J for my undergraduate degree was its commitment to global citizenship, displayed through travel courses and the 麦哲伦项目她说。. “作为一名大一学生, I was Awardsed a Magellan to study in Morocco and Spain, during which I explored migration policies and migrant experiences through interviews and conference presentations.”
Sherwood&J’s liberal arts philosophy for the experiential learning opportunities that it offered in her pursuit of global citizenship.
“The point of a liberal arts education is not necessarily to become proficient in every subject, but instead to learn how to learn她说。. “I believe this philosophy of intellectual pursuit and curiosity has helped shape my educational path here at W&J and will help me have a successful career after graduation.”
After graduation, Sherwood plans to attend graduate school in 华盛顿, D.C., with a focus on foreign policy and international development in the Middle East or Latin America.
