Elianna Fitzpatrick of Germansville, is one of nearly 50 students who studied abroad this summer as part of the study away program at Lebanon Valley College, Annville.

Fitzpatrick, a graduate of Northwestern Lehigh High School, is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in global studies and international business and Spanish and studied in Maastricht, Netherlands this summer.

This four-week summer program offers students in any major the opportunity to complete six credits of coursework.

Courses include an LVC faculty-led course titled “Business in the European Union” and an Intercultural Communications course taught by a Dutch faculty member.

Excursions include the European Union Parliament building, Rotterdam Port, and local businesses.

By the time they graduate, nearly 20 percent of LVC students will have spent time studying and traveling abroad, experiences that will shape and inform the rest of their lives as global citizens.
