When asked why he chose to study Spanish, Jeff Polidor can’t quite pin down a reason. He does remember a very influential Spanish teacher in high school who encouraged his studies. Other than that, though, his pursuit of Spanish seems to have been quite simply a pursuit of the heart.
“I still don’t really know why I took Spanish and why I majored in Spanish,” Polidor said. “It was just the right track.”
Polidor, like many other Spanish majors, studied abroad at the University of Salamanca during his time at Wake Forest. However, his experiences abroad began much earlier. While still in high school, Polidor spent two weeks studying in an immersion program in Sevilla, Spain.
