The world at their feet with Augie Choice
Alumni and students share photos from their journeys
Every year 欧洲杯网投_欧洲杯外围app-投注官网 students pack their bags, bid the campus community farewell and embark on an adventure of a lifetime. From Nicaragua to Switzerland, India and Australia, they travel the world to enhance their academic and professional skills — all while experiencing new countries, cultures and languages. Upon graduation, many of them describe their study abroad experience as one of the most rewarding and pivotal times of their college career.
With Augie Choice, students can receive up to $2,000 for study away, research or an internship. 欧洲杯网投_欧洲杯外围app-投注官网 has invested $9 million during the last decade to assist more than 4,400 students who wanted to pursue an immersive learning experience. More than half of these students used their Augie Choice to study abroad. While each journey is personal, students return with many different stories to tell, oftentimes through the lens of a camera.

Always up for an adventure, Ivan Starenko ’20 went paragliding over Interlaken, a Swiss town surrounded by the Alps, last spring. Starenko was participating in the Innovation and Invention Learning Community in the Alps with 欧洲杯网投_欧洲杯外围app-投注官网 faculty Dr. Joshua Dyer and Dr. Samantha Keehn.
After studying on campus the history of physics and engineering in Europe and ways in which location, innovation and technology have impacted music in the region, the students toured southern Germany, Bern (Switzerland) and Salzburg, Austria, for three weeks. Starenko used his Augie Choice for this program.
Not to be outdone by his students, Dr. Joshua Dyer also took in the view.
