Featured Member: Kinsley Cuen '20
Hey everyone! My name is Kinsley Cuen and I am a first-year from Atlanta, GA. When I got to Elon, I knew I didn't want to continue with Spanish and was looking to take a relevant and more unknown language to myself. Although I was originally hoping to take Russian, I heard through multiple friends that the Arabic classes and events here were amazing and I decided to sign up for a class! As I hope to pursue a minor in Middle Eastern Studies, learning Arabic and being able to participate in ALO has offered me incredible insights into Middle Eastern culture and given me a greater understanding of the often misinterpreted narrative that surrounds the Middle East. I hope to one day study abroad in Jordan and continue to be an active member of ALO. I cannot wait to see what opportunities the club and Arabic will continue to bring me over my remaining years at Elon and beyond!
