Ryan Bailey - Study Abroad in Strasbourg, France

The Eckardt Scholars Program’s support was integral in my being able to study abroad during the fall of 2019. Put simply, without the program’s grant, I would not have been able to have this once in a lifetime experience. Studying abroad expanded my horizons of what I knew of culture, art, and language. Guided tours of East Berlin, class trips to the Louvre, and total emersion in the unique Alsacien culture are exemplary of my semester in Strasbourg, France.

On clear day one can see clear across the valley to Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, some 50km away.

Its most famous varieties are its dry Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Crémant, which is a variety of sparkling wine similar to Champagne.
