View from the classroom- International Spring School

Student post- Sabina Dieneman
As a regular student here at Zeppelin, it's been great to take part in the International Spring School. I've had a fantastic time in my class and have gotten to talk with students from all over. Experiences like this truly make Zeppelin an international school. Students first walk into the building with wide eyes, staring at the architecture, the open space, the overall design. After growing accustomed to my studies here, it's fun to see it all through fresh eyes.

Even if spring school was just an international party, it'd be a good time, but this entire week has been very educational. I am studying public relations with Dr. Barb DeSanto, a professor and the chair of the mass media department at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas. There are many aspects to public relations that I am uneducated about. This seminar has been worthwhile and fun in many ways.

When International Spring School is over and everyone travels home by car, plane or train, the school will be quieter, empty. But the things we have learned and the connections made will continue to grow, echoing through the halls at ZU. For the students who return after ISS, we carry the experience of the 2009 Spring School with us. The event changes our educations, in small and big ways, but undoubtedly, it's a richer education because of it.
