My name is Stephanie Silvano and I am from North Jersey (the best state, and my favorite place). I am currently majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing and Sports and Event Management and a minor in Communications. Like Maria, I love to travel - I actually went to the Olympics in Vancouver this year with GWSB, and I will never turn down a trip to a beautiful beach. I also love good music, great food, wonderful friends, and watch way too many television shows. I chose the GWSB program first and foremost because I did not get to travel to Paris on my Eurotrip a few years ago. I also chose this program because of the unique opportunities it provides with class selection and the extension of business into the French culture (and classes are in English...I am thinking my knowledge of French from "Beauty and the Beast" wouldn't get me too far in an academic setting!). Plus, I get to spend three months with some of my favorite people from GW in the City of Lights - what more could I ask for?
