The CLA student experience

While I will continue to keep you updated on all the great things going on in the College of Liberal Arts, I thought you might want to also hear from the current students who make CLA such a great place for your education!

We all have an essential need to ask "why?" In CLA, we never stop asking that question. In fact, as we say at the U of M, we're Driven to Discover. For example, CLA students are crossing disciplines to explore how the brain processes language, and why learning a language consists not just of vocabulary but also cultural understanding.

CLA students study everything from acting to urban studies, and are as diverse as the nearly 70 majors offered. Since 2000, CLA students have won four Rhodes scholarships and six Truman scholarships. In the 2009 alone, eight CLA students were recipients of Fulbright grants! These are all nationally renowned scholarships awarded to the country's top college students.

Remember the Discover CLA Web site I told you about last week? Well, featured on the site are the experiences of current CLA students who will describe their favorite classes, write about study abroad programs, and share what kept them busy this summer—from advertising internships to immigration research.
