Student Spotlight of the Week

 
       Travis Lindner


Hometown: Barre, VT (but not for a very long time)

 College: Emerson College, Boston MA


Undergraduate Focus: Music Studies/Audio Production

How did you become interested in the IIC program?  While I was in the Peace Corps, I found the IIC program because of the fellowship they provide to RPCVs. It seemed as if half the volunteers in my batch were considering applying to this program.


Name some specific areas within IIC you’re interested in: I seem to be fairly obsessed with media representations in the entertainment and sports industries. 


Favorite place you’ve traveled to so far: This is tough because I’m afraid Melbourne or Hoi An is going feel slighted, but I’m going to go with Langkawi, Malaysia. I tend to think about the place I’ve visited by how I remember the food, and the food in Malaysia was pretty incredible. After the Malay population, the two largest ethnic groups in Malaysia are Indian and Chinese, so there’s a pretty phenomenal mix of those three cuisines. 


Dream job: I would really like to be Wes Anderson, though that seems to be increasingly unlikely.
