Kate Humphrey '09: French and International Studies Major

Kate studied abroad in Paris last year where her favorite thing to do was go for walks around the city. Breakfast is her favorite meal and she loves to snowshoe. She plans to do an AmeriCorps program next year before eventually going to grad school (most likely for urban planning).

 
Sarah Joseph Kurien

Sarah Joseph Kurien '09: French Major

Sarah is from India and consequently, spent three of her eight semesters away from chilly Waterville. She saw her first Colby fall in Dijon and her junior fall in Aix-en-Provence. Junior spring was split between Yaounde, Cameroon and Toulouse, France and she is now finally back at Colby for her senior year. If you see her wandering around and looking confused, she's probably puzzled at the constant snow and wondering why she isn't abroad.

enawaterEna Lupine '09: French and International Studies Major, Environmental Studies Minor

  Ena spent her junior year abroad in Paris with the Hamilton program and spent the following summer in Geneva, Switzerland interning at the UN. Born and raised in Belfast, Maine, she began studying french in high school when she realized that french students got a sweet trip to Quebec at the end of the year while spanish students had to stay home because Mexico is far away. Even though the initial decision to study french was a bit superficial, Ena is happy with her choice (especially after a year of cheese-eating and wine-drinking in Paris) and hopes to continue using french in her life after Colby, whatever that may be.
