Garrett Reich (Class 2022) majored economics and French while minoring in computer science. Garrett participated in a French exchange program in high school, and he instantly fell in love with the French language and culture. He was hoping to study abroad this year at UVA, but COVID-19 has made that impossible. In his free time, Garrett enjoys getting outside and playing soccer or tennis.

“Being able to speak French is something I will cherish my entire life. Not only is speaking another language an invaluable skill, but it also allows you to understand and be a part of a completely different culture, which I have found to be an incredible learning experience”
