Hi, Maria Jose (Majo) Aguilar and I'm a Political Science and Sociology double major with a LALC Concentration. I studied abroad at Universidad de Leon, Spain during the 2023-2024 academic year. Something I enjoyed from my study abroad program is how vibrant, welcoming and homie Spain was.

On-Campus Ambassadors, Class of 2024

Kristina Hekkala, Psychology & Studio Art

My name is Kristina Hekkala and I am a Psychology and Studio Art double major at the College graduating in 2024. I studied abroad in León Spain in Fall of 2023 and it was one of the best experiences of my life. For me one of the best parts of the whole semester was getting to fully immerse into the city life and explore on my own. I loved meeting people while I was out and about and having new experiences everyday!
