Alumni Profiles

Patrick Brand, a major graduating this Spring, is one of the only two students who have been accepted into the Hispanic Linguistics Program at Ohio State University. We are very pleased to announce that, as a special honor, he has been offered an endowed prize (the Bulatkin-Pardo award). The award consists of $1,500 to support his research during his first year at Ohio State.

Michaella Michael-Adenuga, who graduated from UMB in Spring 2005, took her Intermediate Seminar in the Latin American Studies Program. She excelled in the course, and when she decided to apply for graduate school, she contacted her professor for a letter of recommendation. Michaella is currently in the Master of Arts in Human Resource Management Program at Framingham State. She expects to graduate from the program this winter, and will be the first in her family to obtain a Master's degree.

Genny Lyons (now Genna Lyons Schlafman), a former concentrator in Latin American Studies and Psychology major, is now in her second year in the University of Rhode Island Masters Program in Marriage and Family Therapy. As an undergraduate, Genna linked her interests in psychology and Latin America by spending a semester in Belize in an internship working with adolescent girls. She is currently interning at Rhode Island Hospital where she works with families of adults with mood disorders. Genna expects to graduate in May and hopes to move back to Boston. She writes: "The program at URI is challenging and I like pushing myself this way - I have actually started thinking about applying to doctoral programs after working a year post-graduation."
