AtLAS: Global Learning–Global Adventure
Alumna Brittany James (2013 Russian) and LAS undergraduate Cai O’Connell (Russian and political science) began 2014 with an unforgettable cultural experience working at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia—James as a volunteer with the International Olympic Committee and O’Connell as an intern with NBC.
On March 19, James and O’Connell—along with Colleen McQuillen, associate professor of Russian in the Department of Slavic and Baltic Languages and Literatures—presented a program for the UIC Global Learning Community, describing their adventures.
McQuillen, who served as moderator for the discussion, first described the geo-political history and current situation (see Professor McQuillen's AtLAS article for more information).
