WASHINGTON, PA (May 15, 2018)— 华盛顿 & 杰佛逊学院&J)高年级学生Kayla Conforti, 米凯拉Culley, and Victoria Healy will travel to Europe through programs affiliated with the U.S. 富布赖特项目.

“W&J 学生 tend to be well qualified for these awards. Our 学生’ recent track record of winning 富布赖特s reinforces that everything we are trying to do at the College—facilitate the development of well-informed, global citizens with uncommon integrity—is working,苏珊·维多维琴科说, Ph.D., W&J assistant professor of Russian and 富布赖特 Program Advisor.

The 学生 were selected for the following programs:

  • Kayla earned a teaching assistantship through the Teaching Assistant Program in 法国 (TAPIF). 她将前往布列塔尼, 法国, to 教英语 at L'Académie de Rennes for the 2018-2019 school year. “I was elated when I saw I was accepted to the program and would have the opportunity to return to 法国,凯拉说。. “I intend to continue my studies in economics or international relations, and I really had a lot to consider when deciding if I should accept the position first and then go to graduate school. I knew it would be difficult to return to 法国 in this capacity after grad school, and I couldn't pass the opportunity up.”
  • Michaela accepted a position from 富布赖特 Austria as a United States Teaching Assistant. She will be teaching English at a high school level in Innsbruck, Austria during the 2018-2019 school year. “I am very fortunate to have been chosen by 富布赖特 Austria to teach not only English, 而是美国文化,米凯拉说. “当我在国外学习的时候, I always loved answering questions about my native country, 文化与语言. Encouraging cultural education is something very important to me, and having the opportunity to do so for the culture I love is a dream come true!”
  • Victoria was selected for a 富布赖特 English Teaching Assistantship in Bavaria, 德国, for the 2018-2019 school year. She is currently awaiting more information on her placement through the program. “I want to explore my options teaching and I love 德国,” Victoria said. “I am beyond excited to go back to my favorite country and spend a year immersed in their culture again.”

W&J’s ties to the 富布赖特项目 are a staple of the College. 今年早些时候,W&J was named a Top Producer of 富布赖特 Scholars and Students by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. 今年夏天, the school will act as a host to 30 German 学生 for a three-week 富布赖特 education program. 今年是W&J has hosted German 学生 and the College will be one of only two institutions in the nation hosting these groups.
