Cassie Warta is a senior in English, with a concentration in Linguistic studies.  Her course work includes: English Literature I and III, American Literature I, II, and III, Analysis of Drama, Analysis of Prose Fiction, Caribbean Literature, Studies in Shakespeare, The English Language, Pedagogical Grammar, English Syntax, and Sociolinguistics.  Outside of school she has become involved in poetry writing, and has had several of her poems published.

In 2001, Cassie studied abroad in Paris, France, where she was able to research and experience first hand the French culture, as well as those of its neighboring countries.  This is certainly her focus and interest in literary studies.  Some specific research she has done involves the cultural significance of the Eiffel Tower.  At the 1999 PSCFA Championships, she received an award for writing and giving a speech on this cultural artifact.  In future graduate work, Cassie plans to study the language shifts and trends of Europe (specifically of England and France) throughout the 16th and 17th centuries.
