Award recipients spend eight to 10 weeks abroad, studying one of 15 critical languages that are necessary for national security and economic prosperity.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n\u201cI want to fully immerse myself in the language, one that is uncommonly taught in the U.S., yet it is an asset for the future of a global world and my career,\u201d Downing said.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nShe looks forward to learning more about Indian culture firsthand, and teaching others about her Hawaiian upbringing. Her bucket list in India includes visiting the Taj Mahal as well as her former host family, and improving her dancing and drumming skills. She also had the opportunity to visit an Indian news station in Jaipur thanks to her host mother who is a local newscaster, and watch the evening news live from behind the cameras.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n\u201cI want to be present in every moment while I am in my program, both in and out of the classroom,\u201d Downing added.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAfter returning from India, Downing will begin her job at the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/\">U.S. Department of Justice<\/a>&nbsp;in Washington, D.C. As a student, she was involved on campus as a Global Scholar, member of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/Academics\/Programs-of-Study\/Honors-Program\">Honors Program<\/a>&nbsp;and Student Ambassador. She also completed a semester abroad in Madrid, Spain, as well as two&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/services-resources\/center-for-global-education\/explore-our-programs\/global-classroom-series\/\">Global Classroom Series<\/a>&nbsp;programs. We are lucky to have her serve as a Study Abroad Alumni Ambassador for the Center for Global Education at Marymount going forward!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nMarymount University students interested in applying for the Critical Language Scholarship should visit the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/Academics\/Services-Resources\/Center-for-Global-Education\">Center for Global Education<\/a>&nbsp;to learn more about the program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Class of 2019 Major Criminal Justice (B.S.)
