"The SITES program brought a sense of purpose to my academic pursuits and shaped my professional aspirations. Without SITES I would not have realized my passion for language acquisition! The skills I learned prepared me to advocate for world language programs, employ research-based teaching methodologies, and explore social justice themes in K-16 classrooms with students and fellow educators. Through SITES I met peers and mentors who continue to share valuable resources and have inspired me to pursue a graduate degree in Applied Linguistics at Georgetown University. I don't know what I would be doing now if I hadn't stopped at the SITES table at the club fair during my first-year orientation week!"
