Alumna to Teach English in South Korea

CHRISTINA CLARRY ’14 is teaching in South Korea as part of the English Program in Korea

CHRISTINA CLARRY ’14, who participated in the University’s recent Fulbright-Hays grant-funded trip to South Korea in summer
2014, has returned to South Korea as part of the English Program in Korea (EPIK)). The EPIK program was established in 1995 with the mandate to improve the English-speaking abilities of students and teachers in Korea and to develop cultural exchanges. Through the EPIK Program, more than 1,000 teachers are placed in ESL teaching jobs every year.

Clarry, who earned bachelor’s degrees in history and secondary education, will teach in a public school in Ulsan,
an industrial city in the southeast part of the country (home of Hyundai car factories and shipyards). “I’m excited
to be able to teach in Korea,” she says. “The Fulbright Program and Korea have truly impacted my life.”
