as well as the optional study abroad semester,
were an ideal preparation for this position – the

interesting opportunities in both the US and

"When I walked across the stage at UMW in
2009, I never would have guessed that I would be
running my own small business in Düsseldorf,
Germany just five years later. Looking back it's
clear that it was that my time in UMW's German
program that equipped me with knowledge and
skills that have allowed me to strike out on my
own abroad.The small class size and the
individual attention I received from Dr. Rotter
were both critical in helping me gain (and retain!)
the linguistic proficiency I've needed to stand on
my own in Germany as a language instructor,
translator, and interpreter.With his support and
encouragement, I became the first student from
the program to receive funding for
interdisciplinary undergraduate research abroad
and to graduate with academic honors."
