Laura Sanchez

After Laura Sanchez graduated from the University of Florida in 2017, she was unsure if she wanted to pursue a career in language and international politics, or ecology and conservation. While participating on the CLS Program in 2018, she was able to further explore her interests by signing up for an elective course, “Newspaper Chinese.”

“Newspaper Chinese in Dalian became my first and greatest tool in exploring Chinese, international politics, and conservation.”

Laura discussed her topics of interest with her language partner, a chemistry major at the University of Dalian. She also engaged in debates with her peers using new vocabulary.
