Liz S.

Student Traveler
Arts + Sciences Seoul, South Korea School: Mount Holyoke College Hometown: Portland, ME

Hello! My name is Liz Sevigny—pronouns they/them/theirs—and you can also call me 灿辉 (or 찬휘). I'm from the Class of 2023 at Mount Holyoke College, studying computer science and East Asian Studies. Additionally, I serve as an International Trustee for Circle K International—a service and leadership organization. I also really enjoy playing tennis and volleyball, learning languages—currently have some French, Mandarin, and Korean—and hanging out with friends!

I'm currently studying abroad at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea as part of CIEE's Arts + Sciences program. Additionally, I did a 2-month Language & Culture program in Toulouse, France with CIEE. I'm so excited to be able to continue my international studies this year, and I hope you'll enjoy my posts this semester!
