Get to Know Coe
Strong community
Emma Lassen
“One of the things that has made my college experience so great has been the people I've gotten to work with during my four years here at Coe. I've felt lucky to be surrounded by people at Coe who care about me and want to help me be successful, and to me I see that as part of the culture of the college."
A triple major in English, social and criminal justice and education, Lassen is part of a long line of Kohawks who earned a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship. She taught English in Spain.
