Systems Neuroscience PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University<\/i>

\r\n\r\n“Be intentional about exploring different subjects outside of your major. I wouldn\u2019t have found out about my love for linguistics if I hadn\u2019t taken Sounds of the World\u2019s Languages as my social science course!”<\/p>\n \n

\n \n Ajuawak Kapashesit, ’13\n <\/a>\n \n <\/h3>\n

Director of Development at 7000 Languages and Film\/TV writer, director, producer, and actor<\/i>

\r\n\r\n\u201cLinguistics is often a part of my creative work – I used IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) on set for a major television show to work on a language that was unfamiliar to me. I also employ the class Linguistic Analysis to accents as a part of my character work.\u201d<\/p>\n \n

MA in Conflict Resolution and Mediation from Tel Aviv University; currently pursuing a JD at the University of Michigan<\/i>

\r\n\r\n\u201cLinguistics is awesome! I didn’t realize how many skills from the program would be useful until I graduated; I use those analysis tactics and the knowledge I learned every day.\u201d<\/p>\n \n

Masters in Second Temple Judaism at Yale Divinity School; currently pursuing a PhD in Theology at Notre Dame<\/i>

\r\n\r\n\u201cA linguist’s mindset has been crucial in my graduate studies and research. I study the languages of the ancient Mediterranean, so my linguistic knowledge from Mac has been immensely helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n \n
