Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Launches New Study Abroad Blog
VALDOSTA - Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ launched today a new Web
site feature, the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Study Abroad Blog, through which students
will provide readers with first hand accounts of their unique
summer experiences.
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ hopes to share with the community the weekly happenings of
students overseas, giving readers an inside view of study abroad
programs and international studies. Students can choose from 10
destinations, including Russia, Germany, Italy, Turkey and many
more. Trips range from 3-5 weeks offering culture-related courses,
lodging and various amenities. In locations like Japan, Guadalajara
and Senegal Africa, students live with host families completely
submerged in foreign culture.
The new blog will feature weekly updates from students overseas.
Nakita Dziegielewski and Ryan Chapman, both spending time in Russia
this summer, are the first two participants in what Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ hopes to
become an annual Web site feature.
A Dalton native, Dziegielewski is majoring in sociology and women’s
and gender studies and taking courses in Russian language and
culture. She hopes the experience will give her insight into
foreign relations and aid in meeting her future goal of working for
an eastern European non-profit organization. Visit her blog at
.
An accomplished student majoring in physics, Chapman chose to study
abroad to expand his knowledge of the world and improve his
understanding of different cultures. The native of Warner Robins
will also study Russian Language and Culture. Visit his blog at

The blog will be linked from the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ News Site, . As more
groups travel overseas, additional students will share their study
abroad experiences through the new blog at
