Holly Nicole Kandel ’16 spent six months studying French language and literature in southern France as a Geneseo psychology and Francophone studies double major. But it was her on-campus classes about literature of non-European, French-speaking countries that really piqued her interest.

“I didn’t realize how diverse the French-speaking world is,” says Kandel. “There is so much diversity in cultures, politics, styles of dress, and food. It made me want to discover more, learn more, and see it with my own eyes.”

Read Kandel's full story in the spring 2023 issue of the Geneseo Scene.
