WWI Study Abroad

We began a WWI remembrance tour near the point of the German invasion in Ypres, Belgium. Travelling southwest into France we visited pivotal battle sites surrounding Amiens, Perronne, Soisson, Reims, and Verdun. We also had the chance to visit Paris, where we toured Versailles. We ended the trip with a visit to the American Cemetery and memorial at Omaha beach in Normandy. The destruction and devastation of that war is a stark contrast to the beauty of the country and the amazing Gothic architecture that has survived over these many years.

Study Abroad/Away Experience Reflecting on Study Tour of Civil Way Battle Sites (Spring 2011)

This presentation highlights the importance of a study away experience. The panel is composed of students who participated in a summer class that explored several Civil War battle sites on the 150th sesquicentennial of the Civil War’s outbreak. Taking the sites in order, the class studied such places as Harper’s Ferry, Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, Monocacy, Petersburg, and Appomattox. Central to the class was an analysis of the political and technological implications of the war.
