German Studies @ Rhodes: “I came into Rhodes knowing that I wanted to learn more about the German language, but I had originally intended on only being a minor. After a couple years I became thoroughly convinced that it would be in my best interest to switch to a major. This turned out to be one of my best decisions at Rhodes. In switching to a major in German at Rhodes I became a much better researcher, presenter, writer, and (most importantly) more comfortable German speaker. This confidence in speaking and presenting has already proved invaluable in my career, and I am certain will continue to do so.”
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."
