We are thrilled to announce that three of our Russian Program students have received national recognition in the 2025 ACTR National Post-Secondary Russian Essay Contest:
- Luca Ragnelli (Intermediate, A2) – Silver Medal
- George Klasing (Advanced, A3) – Gold Medal
- Shokhzhakhon Anarmetov (Fourth Year, A5) – Silver Medal
This is a remarkable achievement, especially as many of the other medalists represent Ivy League institutions or universities with prestigious Flagship and intensive language programs, including Georgetown, Berkeley, UCLA, Columbia, Harvard, and many more.
The students will be honored at the Slavic/REEES Graduation Ceremony on May 1st.
We extend our sincere thanks to Associate Dean Adriana Helbig for her continued support and for making our students’ participation possible.
