Emma Lassen
鈥淥ne of the things that has made my college experience so great has been the people I've gotten to work with during my four years here at 探花社区. I've felt lucky to be surrounded by people at 探花社区 who care about me and want to help me be successful, and to me I see that as part of the culture of the college."
A triple major in English, social and criminal justice and education, Lassen is part of a long line of Kohawks who earned a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship. She taught English in Spain.
