Congratulations to the Class of 2013!

The European Union Center congratulates four graduates in the class of 2013 from its Master of Arts in EU Studies program.

On May 11, EU studies students Natalie Cartwright, Allyce Husband, Whitney Taylor, and Jerry Vassalla participated in a University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign commencement ceremony. Their degree prepares them for work in areas ranging from government to trade to think tanks.

These students have made the most of their studies: they studied abroad at various European universities in countries like France, Germany, Italy, and Turkey; all of them received Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships to support foreign language study; and they produced master's theses and substantial research projects delving deep into issues faced by the European Union. Such experience and knowledge will allow these graduates to pursue successful careers, with constant ongoing support from the European Union Center.

In addition, the EUC congratulates Nellie Manis, who received her MA in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies with a graduate minor in EU studies.
