EDP’s Student Spotlight is focused on Benjamin Weidman. Ben will graduate this May with a self -designed interdisciplinary degree mixing Social Work and Spanish. From Clifton Springs, New York, Ben was inducted into Chi Alpha Epsilon in 2007, has been on the Dean’s List, and sat on the FSA Board of Directors and the Department of Environmental Affairs sustainability committee. During J-Terms for 2007 and 2008 Ben was in Mexico exploring the culture and beauty of that area. He was in Costa Rica for the whole fall 2008 semester and spent his winter break traveling throughout Central America. Ben’s immediate goal is to keep traveling and see more of the US as well as Latin America. While his interests are many, he is considering going to grad school for counseling.
