Rebecca Wells, former Channing student from the Class of 2012, came back to school to talk about her Undergraduate studies in French and Russian at the University of Bristol and the plethora of opportunities that this brought about, before studying a Masters in Linguistics at the University of Oxford. We heard about her exciting and evolving career in International development, Sustainability communications & strategy, as well as Freelance writer and editor, which really shows that languages can take you anywhere. Her yearbook picture below highlights the number of students from her cohort that went on to study languages at university with the yellow stars showing those who studied 2 languages and the blue stars were those who combined a language with another discipline. It was inspiring for our pupils to hear how passionately Rebecca spoke about the joys of learning a foreign language.

We'd love to hear from more alumnae so please get in touch!
