Brianne Steenburgh

Hi, my names is Brianne Kelsey Steenburgh and I am German major and I received the Janet D. Sheridan Scholarship and I chose my German major because I've been studying German since I was in high school. I don't have any background in the German culture or anything like that, it was purely interest and I decided to study abroad last year and I'm going abroad for a year in Gratz. The School of World Studies, the faculty, they've helped me so much because I've gotten to know them on a very personal level and there's only a few German teachers so I feel very comfortable asking them questions that don't even relate to school problems, you know, issues that I have with applying for study abroad and all those types of things and I really encourage people to participate in the Scholl of World Studies because it's really a great way to get involved in the community and know everything about cultural and international things going on that otherwise you might not know about.
