Russian Events at University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill

Leona Amosah (Russian 2016), a 2016 ADF recipient, hosted an event to increase interest in the Russian department at UNC – Chapel Hill and in Russian studies generally. Leona and a fellow Russian student prepared food for the event and gave presentations on their personal experiences studying and traveling in Russia and invited other students to speak about their motivations to study Russian. Leona specifically targeted their outreach efforts leading up to the event to students of color at UNC. The event was attended by approximately 35 students and faculty.
