I used my Augie Choice to study abroad in
Australia where I worked at a leading fundraising
agency in Sydney for three months. I also had a
chance to dive in the Great Barrier Reef, watch a
show at the Sydney Opera House, and explore the
fascinating Australian Aboriginal stories and art.

Peak Experience at Augustana?

Studying abroad not once, but twice. Spending half
my summer in Dijon, France, to take language and
cultural classes and spending two weeks working
with rural communities, with little to no healthcare
access, in Nicaragua are two of my most valuable
and eye-opening experiences.

I used my Augie Choice for Fall 2016 East Asia
term. As an aspiring geographer, I really enjoyed
seeing and learning about new places (Japan,
Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and Hawaii). This trip
afforded some of my favorite Augustana memories—
visiting Hiroshima, adventuring Hong Kong and
skydiving in Hawaii—and allowed me to bond with
some pretty cool Augie students!
