CSEEES is excited to share that Summer 2023 FLAS fellow Ella Meyer was awarded an Academic Enrichment Grant (AEG) to fund her travel to Kyrgyzstan. Ella is an undergraduate International Studies and Russian major who will study 4th-year Russian in the SRAS Russian as a Second Language Program this summer in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Ella aspires to be a political analyst in the intelligence community, and knows she must improve her language skills and cultural understanding to reach this goal.

Congratulations Ella and best of luck to you on your studies and travels this summer!
