Julia Blumberg '22
Recruitment Coordinator, College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, University of Arizona
"What drew me to the degree in LAS was the close-knit community of faculty and students. I particularly enjoyed the interdisciplinary courses, especially those focused on peacebuilding and conflict in Latin America. Challenges like having to adjust my thesis research due to the pandemic taught me adaptability, while serving as President of the Latin American Studies Student Organization helped me discover my passion for collaboration, marketing, and event planning—skills I use in my current role. I now enjoy sharing my experiences as a Latin American Studies student with prospective students and families, highlighting the impactful courses I took."
