Student SpotlightBeatrice Hoffman '23

majors: dance Performance & Choreography; Russian language and Culture
Minor: Early modern literature
"I began studying Russian language at HWS purely out of curiosity, but the dedication and outright intelligence of the professors encouraged me to stay. Associate Professor of Russian Area Studies Christopher Lemelin was able to make Intro to Russian Language accessible yet challenging and Associate Professor of Russian Area Studies Kristen Welsh led me to better understand the ways in which Russians view America. Both have pushed me to be a better student and informed member of society."
