"I first joined SITES because I loved the process of improving my Spanish every semester. I wanted to empower other students to do the same. SITES has provided me with a community of enthusiastic, empathetic, and intellectual peers. SITES as a program requires you to be more than just a college student. You get experience as a role model and mentor. SITES has equipped me with a concrete, theory-backed, classroom experience that will inform my experiences after college. This summer I will be teaching English in Hong Kong and I look forward to using the principles of SITES (communicative, student-centered lessons that prioritize their production) to grow as an English Instructor."
