Dr. Jenny Harper in Spain |
Dr. Jenny Harper began participating this
past summer in the University System of Georgia’s European Council—a study
abroad initiative with programs in Madrid, London, Paris, Berlin, and now
Scotland (thanks to our own David Nelson). Dr. Harper applied for a fellowship
to the Madrid, Spain program last year and was accepted, she believes, “because
they had never had a biologist travel and teach with them before.” The
fellowship included her flight, room and board, and most meals for 10 days this
summer. “While I was there,” she says, “the goal for me was to use the time to
plan what I would teach, how I would teach it, and what field trips I would
take my classes on.” She is now obligated to teach in the program in Spain
one semester between now and 2015.
