Howard W. Hewitt<\/i> – Students packed Detchon Hall to learn more about studying abroad<\/a> Tuesday at lunch. Dr. Rick Warner talked with students about the opportunities available and how to apply.<\/p>\n

\"\"Three students spoke during a pizza lunch about their personal experiences last school year.<\/p>\n

John Frank ’07 spent a semester in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Frank talked about the university’s programs on art and architecture. He was able to travel much of Europe, including Brussels, Paris, Rome, and London.<\/p>\n

He shared classes with students from Russia, and many European countries.<\/p>\n

Matt Feipel ’07 lived just south of Sydney, Australia, during his semester. He also cited the opportunities to travel as a major benefit to the program. His experience was with mostly Australian students.<\/p>\n

Brock Johnson ’07 was immersed in German culture during the spring and summer months. Johnson studied in Frieberg and took all his classes with other German students instead of English-speaking programs. He urged the big turnout to take advantage of the opportunity to travel if they go to Europe for study.<\/p>\n

Johnson, a Board of Publications photographer, ended the presentation with a slide show from his European travels.<\/p>\n

Director of Off-Campus Studies David Clapp said about 60 Wabash students study abroad each year.<\/p>\n

When visiting with many alumni it’s surprising how many cite a semester abroad as a turning point in their career plans or their lives. Many students return energized by the cultural experience. The students just returning have a lot to share about their experiences. Underclassmen would be well served to seek out these guys and learn first-hand how much a foreign study program can shape their future.<\/p>\n
