Name: Jenna Vigal
Major/Minor: Global Studies and Political Science double major, with minors in History and Economics.
Hometown: Omaha, Nebraska
Favorite Book and Why: This is so hard to choose! I love the Book Thief, because it has an interesting historical context, an interesting narrator, and is just written in a very unique way.
Favorite Movie:
In general I love Disney movies and comedies, but I think my favorite movie is Anastasia, because it's not only entertaining and fun, but once you know the history behind the Romanovs and Rasputin it adds another layer.
Study Abroad Experience:
This summer I studied abroad at the Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona in Spain with SAI for 6 weeks. During that time I took a photography class that translated as an ACE, and a Spanish class. My apartment was in Plaça de la Sagrada Família, and I got to walk past one of the most beautiful pieces of modernist architecture in the world every single day. Besides the improvement in my language skills and the food in Barcelona, some highlights of the experience include seeing Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in London, and my weekend trip to Amsterdam. I am currently planning a semester abroad.
Post-Graduation Plans:
After graduation, I want to attend graduate school abroad, and eventually become a Foreign Service Officer.
