Graduation Term: “What I loved about my time in the Spanish department was the wide array of voices and ideas within the texts we read. I remember not knowing what I wanted to do with my life in college, but I did know that the conversations we would have in class about injustice, class inequality, and marginalization made me passionate and curious. Finding the ideas that evoke my curiosity has helped me craft a career path that feels right for me, and it might help you!” Major: Student, Columbia Law School
