Faculty Profile

Dr. Stephany Slaughter

Dr. Stephany Slaughter

When Stephany Slaughter went to college, she planned to major in French and English with a teaching concentration. But around the time she discovered her college didn’t offer a study aboard program in France, a spot opened up to study abroad in Spain.

“I’ve always been addicted to languages and travel,” the assistant professor of Spanish says, “but the switch from French to Spanish was really accidental. The spot opened up in November, and by January I was in Spain.”
