Each of the four Gordon College News Service fellows produced a story about a graduating international student on the North Shore. The four stories appeared on the front page of the Boston Globe North on Thursday, May 13. My full story can be found on the Boston Globe website.
Blurb: When Vladislav Minev, 22, first started college, he had no idea how to use a dryer or open a checking account. Such plights are common for American freshmen, but at least they have the home turf advantage. Minev grew up in Bulgaria, where he learned English as a second language. The list of obstacles goes on.
In spite of such challenges, Minev will graduate from Gordon College on May 15 with a GPA of 3.55 and a bachelor’s degree in business with an international concentration. He will receive honors in his French minor and may also graduate with economics and business honors, depending on the faculty’s evaluation of his honors thesis two days before graduation.
