Reid Holzbauer

I am currently a 2nd year student in James Madison college studying International Relations and working on a Muslim studies specialization. I hope to work for an NGO or the State Department after graduation before attending graduate school. My eventual goal is to be a professor of some sort. I was initially interested in learning Arabic for academic and career reasons, but as I learned more about the language and culture the more I was interested in it. This year I am very excited to participate in the ALIF program and hope that it will help me in achieving my professional as well as personal goals.
