Congratulations to Melica Kemanian Leites, our spring 2026 French and Francophone Studies major marshal! 🎓🎉

Melica is the daughter of Laura Leites and Armen Kemanian. She is graduating with bachelor of science degrees in French and Francophone Studies and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. 

Melica, a peer writing tutor, has completed research both inside and outside of the University, at the National Science Foundation, as well as Penn State’s Child Attention and Learning Lab, Hudson Lab, and Rolls Lab. Conducting this research gave her the opportunity to present at several conferences, including the Eastern Psychological Conference in New York City. She also studied abroad in Besançon, France and completed a language immersion program at the Centre Linguistique Appliqué.

Post graduation, she plans on continuing her research in biochemistry and molecular biology.
