Kelsey Ray in Russia
For six weeks last summer Kelsey Ray participated in a budding non-profit program called Crossroads Eurasia, interning as an English teacher at E-Studio School in Ryazan, Russia. Away from the cosmopolitan Moscow, she immersed myself in the Russian language and culture, and visited the local villages and museums, while developing lesson plans and teaching students from ages 7 to 50. She lived with a host family and worked with other students from the USA in teaching and exploring the small city. Among the many benefits of this internship, she will be able to apply what she learned to her current studies in comparative literature and linguistics. Kelsey will spend the spring semester in Marburg, Germany.
