On September 14, Bryan Stromer joined us at Warren 503 to talk about his Study Abroad experience last year in Copenhagen. He brought two guests:\u00a0Ruth Page, Program Coordinator from Vanderbilt\u2019s Global Education Office<\/a>,\u00a0and\u00a0Angela Best, Enrollment Services Manager at\u00a0DIS – Study Abroad in Scandinavia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We enjoyed Bryan\u2019s presentation<\/a> on his study in Copenhagen, and I reminisced (mostly silently) on my own visits there in the past \u2014 clearly, we had been to many of the same places! I was interested to learn that Vanderbilt\u2019s study abroad programs, of which there are many, are often organized by Vanderbilt partner organizations like DIS. DIS is somewhat unusual among these partners, in that it offers its own courses and student support, rather than solely organizing through traditional universities abroad.<\/p>\n

Bryan enjoyed his experience and the support he received from DIS and from Vanderbilt. He was able to take courses that satisfied graduation requirements, including a lab course that he highlighted, and he was able to travel around Europe, meeting up with Vanderbilt friends who were studying elsewhere, and traveling with new friends.<\/p>\n

Ruth and Angela left some materials on study abroad, so if you come by for Fresh Baked Fridays, have a seat on our couch and look through it. While I have done assessments of study abroad courses in computer science previously as Director of Undergraduate Studies for Computer Science, Bryan\u2019s presentation gave me a new appreciation and excitement for study abroad.<\/p>\n

Bryan\u2019s presentation was the first of this year\u2019s showcase of student expertise, experience, and expression<\/em> (e\u00b3)<\/a>, which we began last semester.\u00a0We\u2019ll have more this year, and if you are interested in presenting to colleagues artistically, or on interesting educational and\/or service experiences, let us know. We will set it up!<\/p>\n
