Students Studying the World

Off-campus studies are an integral part of the Albion experience today.  Nearly 40 percent of the class of 2002 spent a semester off campus, a trend that is expected to increase.  This fall 62 students are off campus, in places ranging from Chicago to Tokyo, Washington, D.C.; Irkutsk; Athens, Greece; Melbourne and even the middle of the Atlantic ocean (on a sailing ship).  Some are simply enjoying a campus exchange, while others are working at internships, polishing a fo
reign language or doing research.
 


Sterling Heights junior Eddie Visco is interning in the press office for the Minority Leader of the House, Dick Gephardt.  “My first day at work I expected to do mundane jobs, but I left awe-struck.  Not only did I see Mr. Gephardt, but I saw Senate Majority leader Tom Daschle and Vice President Dick Cheney,” says Visco, whose internship duties include supporting Gephardt’s press conferences and working with press releases.
 

Albion, Ind., junior Amber Chenoweth is attending classes in psychology and Aboriginal studies at the University of Queensland.  When not studying, Chenoweth says, “So far, I’ve conquered the Great Barrier Reef, cuddled an adorable koala, fed a kangaroo, gone to an Australian Football League game, enjoyed some Aussie hospitality, enjoyed a wonderful weekend in Melbourne and got to see the sites along Great Ocean Road, and traveled to the Outback! “  Chenoweth has also joined the College Rowing Club and will participate in regatta competition.
