“I promise it will be the most impactful experience that you do during your undergraduate or graduate career” — Kate Greer 🦘
Kate Greer is a history major at The Ohio State University and she was able to take a special faculty led trip to Europe to gain a greater understanding of WWII. This three week program consisted entirely of OSU students and they moved around quite a bit.
It’s interesting to hear someone tell the story of WWII from a German’s point of view, but that’s what Kate focused on during her time there and she talks about what it was like in the interview. We learned about Omaha Beach in school but it is different to go in person, and Kate does a great job of articulating her visit.
An inside joke of a quote that Kate would like to leave the audience with:
“Scaffolding” —Dr. Steigerwald
