Daniel Ryder, whose semester abroad in Bilbao, Spain inspired his research topic, presented on The Basque Country: A Region of Cultural Independence. His research highlighted the many cultural aspects that differentiate the Basque region from the rest of the autonomous regions in Spain. Topics such as the region's history as well as language, food, sports, and many other unique cultural identifiers of the region were highlighted. 

Nicholas Walker was inspired to use and to deepen his languages skills in a new way, diving deeply into one primary source in an effort to master both the language and the content of that source. Entitled The Life and Death of Pablo Escobar, his presentation offered an intimate analysis into one of history’s most notorious drug-lords.This presentation contrasted fact from fiction, and unraveled the truth behind the Netflix series “Narcos”, as Escobar’s story as recalled from the perspective of his own son through his book Pablo Escobar, Mi Padre.
