As countless participants in study abroad programs will attest, going #abroad and living and studying in a foreign country has a tremendous impact on lives, expands horizons, and opens new worlds to young students, more than any classroom experience could.
We strongly agree with that and are proud that one of our long-standing tradition from the old GABC (German-American Business Circle) times is that the GACC in partnership with Rotary Club of Pittsburgh Foundation awards the GABC scholarship to benefit a collegiate-level student from Western PA who demonstrates academic excellence and strong interest in German-American business affairs and #culture, and who plan to further their studies through study abroad at an accredited institution of higher learning in Germany.
This year we are happy to congratulate Brendan Troesch, currently studying at Washington & Jefferson College for receiving the scholarship. Brendan made a memorable impression on W&J college's faculty with his compassion, interest and talent in German language and #culture as he is a stellar in his classes. He will stay the summer semester in Cologne, doing his semester abroad at the Universität zu Köln. We are sure he will be as successful in Cologne as he is already at home at W&J. We wish him all the best and a great experience abroad!
