Major: English concentration in Creative Writing

Denise Bevis is an English major and Spanish minor who will be studying away at the Tecnológico de Monterrey in México for the 2021-2022 academic year! She is looking forward to having entire conversations in Spanish, making connections so that she’ll have people to visit when she comes back, and the delicious food she will be eating. Denise is also hoping to visit the city and see what life there is like! Even though her biggest challenge would be getting settled in a new campus, she is looking forward to being involved within the campus community. Huge congratulations to Denise!!! She will have an exciting journey ahead of her!
