Alumni Spotlight
Jordan Eason
MA 2023, Portuguese<>English:“Having the ability to do the program completely remote was definitely a motivating factor. Once I got into the program, I really enjoyed my instructors. I really think the level of professionalism they had was amazing. Also, the course variety was really good. I wish I could go back and take some of the courses I couldn’t squeeze into my schedule. I really enjoyed the literary focus I had and (getting) to work with people like Dr. Roman Ivashkiv and Dr. (Reynaldo) Pagura. We had really great in-depth lectures.”
