Victoria Luciano, of Wingdale, Studies in Austria, Learns About evils of Nazi Party History
SELINSGROVE, PA (08/07/2019)– Victoria Luciano, of Wingdale, was one of 16 students from Susquehanna University who recently studied in Austria as part of the university’s Global Opportunities (GO) program.
The three-week study abroad program, titled GO Austria: National History, Global Responsibilities, took students to Salzburg and Vienna, as well as nearby Munich, Germany. Susquehanna students worked with Austrian university students to learn how the nation is still affected by its Nazi past. Students explored Austria’s culture by visiting cathedrals, catacombs and a medieval fortress in Salzburg. They also journeyed to Vienna, a city known for its music, to attend concerts and operas.
Luciano is a political science major in the Class of 2020. A 2017 graduate of Dover High School, she is the daughter of Donna Luciano and Joseph Luciano.
Study away is an integral part of a Susquehanna education, which requires all students to spend at least two weeks off campus, immersed in a culture different from their own. Students reflect upon their experiences when they return, guided by faculty members and coursework that promotes discovery and personal growth. Susquehanna students can choose from study-away programs, ranging from a few weeks to as long as a semester, in 50 different countries. For more information, visit www.susqu.edu/GO.
