At WTAMU, we have many individuals who have traveled across seas due to opportunities given by this University.
Some of those major trips are from the Readership program for the freshman class. This year, the trip is featuring Turkey as the destination.
A handful of freshmen will be chosen based on their essay submissions to make the trip to Turkey. Another traveling opportunity that happened this summer highlights a professor here at WT. Dr. Hansen, professor of voice, traveled to Paris… ooh la la… that’s right, the Eiffel Tower, Paris.
He received the opportunity to be the only American on the opera stage. With so many more traveling experiences happening with WT students that we don’t know about, think about the endless possibilities you could have to travel abroad.
This is the time of your life, in college, so I challenge you to jump out of your comfort zone and do something unusual like travel around the world.
This is when it will impact you the most. With two of our main stories this week being about students/professors traveling, what more of an incentive can you ask for?
Take the time to read this issue spotlighting a few individuals and maybe it will change your mind about staying in the United States for all of your college career.
