Winner of 2022 Putney Alumni Video Contest

We’re excited to announce Hannah M. as the winner of this year’s Alumni Video Contest! Hannah and her peers explored six different regions of France on this language immersion program while documenting their experiences along the way. Her video does an amazing job of capturing the full breadth of the Language France experience. Congratulations Hannah, and well done!


Our runner up comes from Ayla G., who traveled on our Language Ecuador & the Galápagos program last summer! Check it out here:
