Aleksandra (Ola) Kaminska
Mechanical Engineering major
Computer Science minor
Spanish minor
“My Spanish minor and my engineering degree at MIT have turned out to be far more intertwined than I ever expected. Engineering gave me technical skills, but Spanish gave me the ability to communicate that knowledge across cultural and linguistic barriers.”
Leena Mehendale
Biological Engineering major
Spanish minor
“Through my MISTI experiences living and working in Spanish-speaking countries, I have come to understand the importance of the human connection that underlies how science is implemented across the world.”
Eric Noriega
Artificial Intelligence and Decision Making major
Mathematics major
French minor
“Speaking French makes obtaining opportunities abroad much easier. My language and culture studies give me a more global understanding of my work’s impact.”
