As an undergraduate student in Alabama, Samuel Watson wanted to learn the Korean language. That interest propelled Samuel to study abroad in South Korea with a scholarship from the Gilman Program. As a Gilman scholar in Seoul, Korea, Samuel took part in intensive language training. When he came back home he shared his knowledge by teaching introductory Korean to students at the University of Alabama! Now Samuel is pursuing a master’s degree in computer science with the goal of combining his Korean language and coding skills to advance cybersecurity. As one of our new Gilman Alumni Ambassadors, Samuel was in Washington D.C. this summer learning how to help U.S. undergraduates gain a competitive edge by studying abroad.
