Shawnee McDonnell is a Global Studies major with a minor in Spanish.  Arianny will be studying in Heredia, Costa Rica for the Academic Year 2018-19!  She chose the USAC Intensive Language in Costa Rica program to compliment her academic goals and personal goals.

A huge congratulations goes to Shawnee as she received USAC’s Explorer Scholarship!  This scholarship will provide Shawnee with the support to become fluent in Spanish this upcoming year.

Shawnee’s advice:

“Do not wait to start planning. Put due dates in your calendar. Start on scholarships. Jump in and chase your dream. Do not wait for it to find you.”

Congratulations, Shawnee!
