Gappenings: A Year in India

DATE: April 23, 2020  12:30 pm via Zoom


 Lucia Hruby
Introduced by Lion Mim Hruby

Lucia Hruby is joining us today to share her presentation titled “Gappenings: A Year in India”. She will talk about her experiences in India and the NSLI-Y program. The National Security Language Initiative for Youth is a program aimed at promoting critical language learning among American youth and to inspire a new generation of ambassadors. The NSLI-Y program introduced her to life-long network of friends and had a profound impact on Lucia’s academic and career goals.

About our Speaker:
Lucia Hruby was born and raised in Austin alongside two sisters. She attended the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders, a public all-girls middle through high school. Following her high school graduation, Lucia took a gap year in India through the State Department’s National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y). During this time, she lived with a host family, attended a local high school, and devoted herself to learning Hindi. Her gap year sparked a passion for language learning, traveling, and all-things India. Lucia is now a sophomore at the University of Texas at Austin majoring in international relations and Plan II. After completing her undergraduate degree, she hopes to embark on new adventures abroad, perhaps through the Peace Corps or pursuing a career in diplomacy or in an NGO.
