Joel Smith
A senior from Albany, Ohio, Joel has been safety officer of the Ohio University Duello Fencing Club, chapter president of the Society of Physics Students, co-founder and president of the Natural Ohio University Barbershop Singers, and a member of Shire of Dernehealde (local branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism). His career goal is to earn a graduate degree and become an educator at the high school or college level.
“The opportunity to spend 6 to 9 months in France will improve my career immeasurably,” Joel said. “Whether I decide to become a high-school French or physics teacher, continue with advanced studies in French or neither, the opportunity to be immersed in a different culture and learn to adapt to it will have applications in many ways, most of which I’m sure I haven’t even considered yet.”
“In his internship, Joel will be asked to create activities that will help the students practice English orally and learn about the United States. He works well with young children and loves music and popular culture, so I’m confident that those interests will aid in his teaching.”
Lois Vines, professor of French
