Manchester spring grad
from Fort Wayne receives
Fulbright-administered
teaching post in Austria
NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind. – Manchester College spring
graduate Rachel A. Paske of Fort Wayne will study internationally next
year with a Fulbright-administered program in conjunction with the
Austrian Ministry of Education. Paske – who is expected to graduate cum
laude May 23 with a bachelor of arts in sociology – will serve as a
teaching assistant in a school near Vienna.
Paske, a graduate of Bishop Luers High School in
Fort Wayne, is fluent in German, and has traveled quite a bit around
Europe. Her first trip was as a high school student, traveling alone in
Vienna. She also has studied 15 months in Marburg, Germany and has
visited Denmark, Sweden and England. “Travel has become a passion of
mine,” she said. “I’m very excited about exploring more of Europe,
particularly Eastern Europe, since I’ll be living very close to the
Hungarian border.”
Paske said she may audit sociology courses at the
university in Vienna and study Italian while in Austria. She also plans
to take a ballet class and read the classic sociological works of Karl
Marx and Max Weber in their original German. |
