- Elizabeth Wiseman (BMC '13)
Starting in high school with an interest in Japanese history and culture, my language studies have led me on a journey through college to where I am now: a senior linguistics major writing a thesis on Japanese onomatopoeia. I could not have asked for more talented or dedicated professors during my studies at Haverford; the Japanese professors here truly invest their time and their energy into helping you reach your individualized goals. Likewise, my yearlong study abroad experience in Tokyo taught me to view the world with new eyes, and I am truly appreciative for that extraordinary growth experience that would not have been possible within the Bi-College. Even now, as I am taking Business Japanese and searching for jobs that would allow me to return to Tokyo, I cannot express enough the gratitude and appreciation I feel towards the entire Japanese Department for the extraordinary amount of personal attention they have shown me over the years; I would not be quite the same person without it today. - Miranda Liu (BMC '12) is in Japan through JET (The Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme)
