Student Profile: Kaitlin Carolan
Kaitlin Carolan is hoping to use her Spanish major to work with the government.
“I know that having a language under my belt will help me,” the Harper Woods junior says. “I've been looking heavily into being a translator, especially if I had the opportunity to work with immigration at the same time.”
An anthropology minor, Carolan has always loved Spanish.
“This program has given me one-on-one assistance from the professors,” she says. “I also have the opportunity to spend a semester overseas. I plan on traveling to Spain this winter. It will be such a rewarding experience.”
In the future, she plans on attending the University of Detroit Mercy for a graduate school degree in criminal justice.
She was attracted to Alma because of its small size and likes the idea of being able to travel during spring terms.
Carolan is a second-year resident assistant in Newberry Hall and president of Sigma Alpha Omega, a Christian sorority. She is also a member of the Spanish Club and Alma Anonymous, a peer theatre group, and is a Highland dancer in the Alma College Dance Company.
