Where are they now...?
From time to time, we hope to be able to update you on what former Shinn Scholars are up to...
Jennifer Courtney (Spain - 1999) is now living in Turkey. She recently emailed to say:
"I will continue to support the fund because it really was one of the most important events in my life. I decided to become a Spanish teacher after I came back from Spain and that was only possible with Shinn. Now I am in Turkey teaching Spanish...who would have thought? A big hello to Dr. Motte, Dr. Schneider, Mrs. Perry, Mrs. Shinn and Dr. Margenot...."
Are you a former Shinn Scholar? Please let us know what you are up to. And a huge thanks to Jen for continuing to support the Fund!
