This past Friday the German Studies program met with a group of adventurous Scotties who had spent either a year, a semester, or a summer in a German-speaking country. It was inspiring and instructive to listen to their stories and to learn how immersion in another language and culture shaped their academic learning. Navigating another language and culture are two of the most important skills employers look for and these students are certainly ready to apply their competences in the near future.

Willkommen zurück (from left to right): Prof. Barbara Drescher, Ray (ISEP Salzburg), Molly (Sommerhochschule Wien/Strobl), Carina (ISEP Dortmund), Cameron (Sommerhochschule Wien/Strobl), Nyjia (ISEP Marburg), Hannah (Sommerhochschule Wien/Strobl), and Abbie (ISEP Graz).

We look forward to welcoming a group of new Scotties fairly soon. As you make your academic plans, remember to make connections. In German Studies, we encourage our students to always combine their various academic interests with the insights they gain from learning the German language and culture. Here are a few exciting combinations that some of our students worked on:
