Megan Higgins
A 2008 Ohio University graduate from Vandalia, Ohio, Megan will use her scholarship to become fluent in the German and learn more about Austria and its culture. Her degree in history and minor in German will be of daily benefit as she gains valuable experience teaching in two Austrian schools. She is a member of Ohio University’s Phi Alpha Theta, the history honor society.
“As a teaching assistant in Austria, I will gain valuable teaching experience that I can utlilize as a history professor,” Megan said. “Understanding the culture and people of Austria will better my ability to teach and explain European society and history.”
“Megan Higgins is a really hard working, persistent student who has made great progress in her learning. She is an ideal participant for this program because it helps participants discover what their interests and strengths are and helps steer them toward their future career or graduate study.”
Nikhil Sathe, assistant professor of German
