Ella Peterson '24

Majors: Politics and Law, German
Current position: Student at University of Colorado Law School

German Studies @ Rhodes: “As a First Year I was confident I wasn't a "language person." German at Rhodes made me confident I can learn languages, made me a stronger writer, and had an enormous impact on my career goals. I am about to start law school and hope to work with German based companies negotiating international contracts.”

Major: German Studies
Current position: M&A Tax Attorney

German Studies @ Rhodes: "Rhodes gave me the opportunity to pursue my passion for the German language both in the classroom in Memphis as well as during my study abroad experience in Germany. I met my wife while studying abroad and still regularly use German in my job, so it is not an exaggeration to say that my experience as a German major at Rhodes changed my life and has an impact every day."
