Hi everyone! This is Ulysse, your track rep for Geography this year 🙂 I’ve always loved maps but, like most people, didn’t fully know what geography corresponded to before arriving at UCU, and discovered here what an absolutely fascinating topic it is, inseparable from politics, sociology, economy and ecology. The Geo track is small, but cohesive and full of promise, so I’m always open to receive your suggestions to improve it!

Hi everyone! My name is Kate (she/her) and I’m so excited to be this year’s language and culture track representative! I’m currently in my third year majoring in biology, medical sciences and biochemistry and minoring in law. Whether you’re taking a language course for the requirement, or for the fun of learning a new language, being able to communicate in another language is an invaluable skill and forms a unique part of the UCU curriculum. I am eager to improve the track, and to make all language courses more engaging and motivating. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about the track or let me know if you have any feedback/ideas regarding courses you’ve taken!
