Two Suitcases and A Backpack: The Long-Lasting Impact of Study Abroad
Thirty years ago, Dr. Brigid Burke, Professor of Education and World Language Education Coordinator at Bowling Green State University, embarked on a new adventure—her study abroad to Montpellier, France.
As a French Education student who wanted to become a French high school teacher, she knew that one year abroad would help her develop strong language skills and allow her to understand French culture deeply. With two suitcases and a backpack, she traveled to France and experienced things she had never expected. She will share with you what those were and how she has continued to travel back as often as she can to visit her French family and friends.
Her former students also will share stories about how study abroad has impacted their lives.
