Throughout their years at Harvard College, Florian Bochert, Abby LaBreck, and Mercedes Sappupo were active members of the CES community. These students deepened their knowledge of Europe by taking advantage of CES programs including research and internship grants, the Secondary Field in European History, Politics, and Societies (EHPS), and by participating in many events and off-the-record discussions. These students’ post-Harvard plans reflect their deep intellectual passion for and sense of connection to Europe.

"One of the most crucial things about CES was the summer funding, not only because of the experiences it allowed me, but also the events that came with it and the community built around the people who received those grants." – Mercedes Sapuppo
