Alumni Highlights

Read about a 2011 CLS student in Bursa, Turkey, who studied in Ankara as a high school student on the National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) program.

Jordan Matthews was a beginning student on the CLS Program in Ankara in 2010 and fell in love with the Turkish language during the program. She was later awarded a Fulbright fellowship to study the transformation of public spaces in former capital cities in Turkey through visual media (collages, drawings, models, photographs, etc.). As a Fulbright fellow, she lived in Istanbul and conducted research in Istanbul, Bursa, Iznik, Konya, Edirne, and Ankara. Her work was exhibited at Kadir Has University, and she hopes to exhibit it in the U.S. in the future. Click here to see some of her work.
