Veronica Colegrove graduated from Oberlin College in 2012 with a major in Computer Science and a minor in Latin Language. She, worked with the Ninde Scholars Program and went to every Poetry Slam possible. During her time in Taigu, Veronica focused on creating a curriculum that utilized language learning to create a safe space for discussion, expression and self-reflection. She spent time eating noodles, collecting noodle recipes and thinking about eating more noodles. (She misses Chinese food immensely.)  Veronica’s interests include cultural cues and code-switching, cross-cultural humor and coffee. Her Taigu blog can be found here.

She was the 2014-2015 Returned Fellow and continued dancing with Koreo hip-hop troupe, and staying active on-campus.

Veronica Colgrove ‘12, Taigu Fellow

Teacher V is a curious person. She is a mix of qualities from opposite sides: the admirable teacherly qualities that I try to remember and those bad habits that I just can't get rid of. For example, I pace in front of the grad students and if I'm not careful, it becomes a continuous dance of back and forth across the classroom. Bad habit.
