It's not very common for many college students to graduate in 4 years, so I'm pretty excited that this will be the case for me. My name is Kristin Tuinier. A senior here at WMU, I will graduate this coming spring with a major in Spanish and a minor in English for Secondary Education.This past summer, I lived in Santander, Spain with a host family through the study abroad program that WMU offers. I took three classes with 19 other students from Western and traveled to almost twenty cities during my time there. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I am excited to continue my studies of Spanish here this fall.
Along with taking 4 classes this semester, I am also teaching one section of the English 1000 course. I was able to meet with my students today for the first time and everything went really well. I can't wait to work with them and watch them change over the course of the semester.
I hope that this course teaches me a lot about African literature (and culture) so that I can integrate it into my own curriculum someday soon. I am excited to read and discuss what we learn and share it with others.

Great introduction, Kristin. I hope we get to talk more about Santander and your 1000 class.
That's awesome! I bet Spain is beautiful... I had a friend name Aaron Layendecker that went to Spain through WMU this year... Maybe you know him? I don't know?
