Provost's Wednesday Briefing for June 6, 2018
Eastern Alumna Takes Eagle Pride to her Work in China
Lauryn Gallo, a graduate of Eastern’s Bachelor of Science in Linguistics, and Master of Arts in TESOL programs, is entering her third year as an English Language Fellow for the U.S. Department of State, in Wuhan, China. In addition to the rigors of the fellowship program, Lauryn takes time to share her love of Michigan with the people of China. She serves as a living example of the global reach of an EMU education. We celebrate her success and wish her well as she continues in this prestigious fellowship program. To read more about how Lauryn is bridging the cultural gap between Southeast Michigan and China, please visit EMU Today.
