Dialogue of Civilizations Applications Open on November 15th!

Abigail Hodge

Hey everyone! I'm a computer science and linguistics major with absolutely zero exposure to high fashion, ready to go to the most fashionable city in the world to spend an entire month learning about fashion marketing. My program while on this DOC is Fashion Culture & Commerce in Paris. My plan for my first ever study abroad experience was to get out of my comfort zone and learn something interesting that had nothing to do with my major or typical hobbies, and I think I've achieved that. This is my first time leaving North America, so check out my blog if you're interested in the perspective of a newbie traveller. I'm also an avid language and linguistics nut, so be prepared for a lot of stories about attempting to improve my French. Finally, I absolutely love creative writing and am planning on working on new stories and ideas pretty frequently while in Paris.
