"I screamed my head off for about five minutes and scared my roommates," says Elaina Braunschweig, '18, describing her reaction at becoming the latest Albion College student to receive a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship. She will spend nine months teaching English in the German state of Brandenburg, which includes Berlin, during the 2018-19 academic year.
Cristen Casey began in July as Albion College’s new director of the Center for International Education and Off-Campus Programs with a goal of solidifying Albion’s reach internationally and, perhaps more important, emphasizing for students the benefit of studying abroad.
"I did not expect that I would gain another family here in Spain," says Makenzie Frederickson, '18, a Spanish and accounting major who is studying this semester in Alicante, Spain. "Being immersed in a new culture is an amazing way to learn more about yourself, others, and gain perspective," says the native of Lowell, Mich., who is a defender on the Albion women's lacrosse team and a three-time Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Honor Roll student.
"Studying Spanish and living in a Spanish-speaking country are two different things entirely, and I cannot stress enough how important it's been to spend this past semester in Spain," writes Kailey Henderson, '18, who has studied abroad this fall in an intensive Spanish language and culture studies program at the University of Alicante.
