The German Academic Exchange Service has named senior Michelle Lucas a 2012-2013 Young Ambassador.<\/p>\n
The Young Ambassadors Program recognizes undergraduate students who have recently studied abroad or interned in Germany. At their home institutions, they promote studying in Germany, acting as a liaison for the organization also known as Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD).<\/p>\n
Lucas, a German studies and geographic sciences information double major with a minor in aerospace studies, studied abroad at Universt\u00e4t Mannheim in Germany in the fall of 2011. She had previously lived on an army base in Germany as a child, which prompted her desire to return.<\/p>\n
She said she appreciates the honor, as there are a limited number of Young Ambassadors, and not every university is represented.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter a semester of living in Germany, I had learned and understood more about Germany\u2019s culture and the way of life than could ever be taught in a classroom back in the States,\u201d she stated in her Young Ambassador profile.<\/p>\n
\u201cStudy abroad is not just visiting and touring another country; it\u2019s living it, experiencing all aspects, and becoming a part of the society for your time there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
