UMW Success StoriesTyler Christesen BA in German 2007 Junior Year in Munich International Management Trainee with

Bosch-Siemens Hausgeräte in Munich. MBA Director, HR Marketing and Recruiting, BSH

Bosch and Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH “The intensive speaking and writing

requirements of the German Program at UMW, as well as the optional study abroad semester, were an ideal preparation for this position – the skills I learned helped me to differentiate myself from other candidates and led to interesting opportunities in both the US and Germany."

Scholarship at the University of Kiel in Genetics in 2012

Currently in a MA/PhD program in Genetics at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen

UMW Success StoriesJesse Kopp BA in German and Studio Art in 2009 CEO English Superior (Language Teaching and

Translation Services) "When I walked across the stage at UMW in 2009,

I never would have guessed that I would be running my own small business in Düsseldorf, Germany just five years later. Looking back it's clear that it was that my time in UMW's German program that equipped me with knowledge and skills that have allowed me to strike out on my own abroad. The small class size and the individual attention I received from Dr. Rotter were both critical in helping me gain (and retain!) the linguistic proficiency I've needed to stand on my own in Germany as a language instructor, translator, and interpreter. With his support and encouragement, I became the first student from the program to receive funding for interdisciplinary undergraduate research abroad and to graduate with academic honors."
