Eight May graduates have earned the opportunity to start their professional careers in Europe. Five are on their way to Spain and three to France after receiving assistantship positions to teach English during the upcoming academic year.

Five students were chosen as teaching assistants in Spain through the Cultural Ambassadors program funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education:
