From Our Students
My time in the German Program with Dr. Erika Hille Rinker literally altered my career path. My first three years at UAB were focused on a life dream I'd had since 4th grade, but after studying abroad at the Goethe Institut in Dresden my life took a major turn — a turn for the better. I knew I had to get back to Germany after graduation.
Over the next two years (possibly the best two years of my life) I lived in three different, distinct German cities. My time teaching English at inlingua Sprachschule pushed my German to a new level and deepened my understanding of what it meant to be German. After traveling, working, and absorbing as much as possible in Germany, I wanted to delve into the country's relations with international actors. This led me to the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. — Matt Farrar
