Bella Harden is our second featured Buckman-Mollerup Fellow! Bella is studying with Arcadia () in Rome this semester, taking classes on Intercultural Communication, Italian, Political Economy, and even Drawing! When asked about the fellowship, Bella remarked on how steadfastly supported she feels by the Rhodes Community; furthermore, when asked about her favorite memory so far, Bella cited the overall kindness of those she's met, whether they're fellow students, fellow tourists, or locals.

Emily and Professor Kostina traveled to San Antonio, TX this week to present at the South Central Modern Languages Association Conference. Emily discussed her translation of Lermontov’s “Shtoss” on the Russian Literature Panel, and Prof. Kostina presented her research on Bias in the American / Western Media on the Russian Methodology panel.
