Messages for Kelly

 

Kelly Benvenuto of Potsdam is a junior at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. She is studying abroad in Morocco this semester under the auspices of the School for International Training in Brattleboro, Vermont. Kelly is an international sudies major with a minor in French. She chose Morocco as her destination, in part because of a longstanding interest in Arabic culture, and in part because French is the second language of a large portion of the population. Her stay is based in the Mediterranean city of Rabat, where she is living with a Moroccan host family. Part of her studies will involve research into the development of North African architectural styles.
