Amneh is a full-time law student at Western Michigan University Thomas M. Cooley Law School and proofreader/copy editor for WestRock's horticulture department. She shared the following about her experience at UM-Flint, "The English-Literature program was designed to give students like me a well-rounded and enjoyable educational experience. All of the classes I was required to take varied in subjects and teaching/learning styles. Some of the courses were traditionally taught while others were taught in a way that allowed students the creative ability to perform the literary material, reinterpret the literature, freely and civilly discuss the literature in a seminar-like fashion."
Elexis is working as a Native English Teacher for EPIK, a government-funded program in South Korea. When asked how the Linguistics program prepared her for success after graduation, Elexis stated, "My accumulated teaching hours have put me in higher positions than others in less-extensive programs. Also, the diversity of my teaching experience provided me with chances to teach language learners at all levels."
Karlee teaches 7th and 8th grade English for the Clio Area School District. When asked what she values most about her experience with the English department at UM-Flint, she responded, "I most value the eye-opening classroom discussions and meetings with students and faculty. The subject of English allows for discussions that touch on a wide array of subjects that have real-world effects."
