Hometown: Lancaster, PA

High School: Conestoga Valley Senior HS

Why I chose to attend Juniata: Juniata had both Russian and French languages as well as a very good tennis team! I enjoyed the quaint and beautiful campus too.

Clubs and Organizations: CMB- an attendee Social dance club- attendee

Varsity Sports: Tennis- #6

Most Interesting Class: Russian 1: it was the most difficult and by far most interesting class because my first language was Russian. I was adopted from Russia when I was 8 and I lost my language speaking skills over time. Taking Russian 1 has allowed me to relearn my native language.

Favorite Faculty Member: I would say all of mine have made a difference. I had to get surgery in the middle of the semester and my teachers patiently and kindly worked with me to make up the work I missed. I am definitely very thankful for all their kindness.

Thank you!

Dear Class of 1983,

I want to thank you very much for your generous scholarship! As you know, Juniata is an expensive school, and I know that without such gracious financial support, I would not be able to study here. Juniata has provided me with everything that I was looking for in a college. This campus offers me both French and Russian, tennis, as well as a great faculty of teachers! Juniata wouldn't be my home if I didn't have people investing in my time here! So thank you again for choosing me. I greatly appreciate it!

Sincerely,
Yana Kohler
