The spring commencement ceremonies may be behind us, but we're not finished celebrating our grads! 🎓

Jane Achenbach crossed the stage on Friday evening to receive a bachelor's in linguistics with a focus in German.

"I received the 2024 Maura Binkley Scholarship from the FSU Department of Modern Languages & Linguistics, which funded a summer semester as an exchange student at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal in Germany. In 2025, I also received the FSU Winthrop-King Institute's Ada Belle Winthrop-King Scholarship, covering the cost of Florida State University's international program in Dresden, Germany. Both of these experiences helped me improve my German language skills and cultural proficiency while also allowing me to grow personally."

Starting in the fall, Achenbach will begin the 21-month MPhil in Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics course at the University of Oxford.

We've been loving watching the donations roll in during today's ! 😍

If you haven't taken part, it's not too late — the Arts and Sciences Academic Fund is still shy of its goal, and we need YOUR help. The best part? Through the dean’s matching funds, every dollar you give makes twice the impact for our students: fla.st/BL451ILZ.
