    • About me

      About Me: Hi! My name is Grace Parmer and I’m a senior at SU, and I transferred here in Spring 2021. I’m a Political Science major, with minors in Communication and Sociology. In Summer 2022, I studied abroad in the SU Faculty-led Granada, Intermediate Spanish program in Granada, Spain. It was the best way to finish my foreign language requirement, and I want to encourage students to consider studying abroad. I am happy to share about my experience and answer any questions students may have!
