Campus Activities: In Gettysburg I am a Student Office Assistant for the Center of Global Education, Student Assistant for Athletics Communications. I was the Vice president of LASA my junior year, and I had been involved in programs in the Eisenhower Institute.
Favorite Experience: Meeting new people from all over the world, but especially explore new places and museums throughout the city, trying food I've never tried before. Every weekend I'd go to a park that used to be an airport!
New/Exciting Course Abroad: My German language course allowed me to understand and speak the German language for which I would use throughout the semester. I would use this knowledge in Berlin, especially in a Café where the server would only speak German and every time I went I'd get a free cookie for my good effort in speaking only German!
