Students who study and research abroad say the experience is life-changing. In-depth exposure to another culture transforms them, permanently expanding their personal and intellectual understanding of the world around them.
Two Georgia State alums, Edward Bullwinkel (B.A. ’06) and Irene Goodale (B.A. ’82), and College of Arts and Sciences Dean Lauren Adamson each have created a scholarship to give more high-achieving students the opportunity to go abroad.
The Robin Huff Student Exchange Endowment was established by Bullwinkel to support students in the German exchange program and German education in Georgia. The endowment is named in honor of senior lecturer Robin Huff of the Department of Modern and Classical Languages, who worked closely with Bullwinkel when he was a student at Georgia State.
The Goodale Family Scholarship in International Studies is aimed at students who have never studied or researched abroad before, with preference given to students who wish to go to Mexico.
The Theresa Nash Bernstein Scholarship in International Travel is being established by Adamson and her husband, Walter L. Adamson. The scholarship honors her mother, who was a teacher, artist and world traveler. The scholarship will allow an undergraduate or graduate student in psychology or a related field to travel abroad for research or study. Similar to the Goodale scholarship, preference will be given to students for whom the trip is a first journey abroad.
