Mackenzie Barrow '10 has decided to enter the Ph.D. program in German at Georgetown University, where she has been awarded the Roth Fellowship and Research Assistantship.

Mackenzie's research interests lie predominantly in applied linguistics. She is currently finishing her honors thesis with Dr. Henke on second language acquisition and issues of intercultural communicative competence among young Turks in Berlin. She began working on the project while studying with Duke/Davidson in Berlin, then continued her empirical research last year with the help of a Dean Rusk travel grant. Mackenzie gained practical teaching experience as an assistant teacher both at Davidson and at the renowned Schule zum Grauen Kloster in Berlin.

Congratulations, Mackenzie!
