AASU Students Study Abroad in Denmark

Savannah, GA-–Seven AASU students Steve Mosca, Charles Briscoe, Amanda Love, Steve Giles, Carol Lawson, Jay Stuart and Katherine Lancaster traveled to Denmark this summer as part of the university's study abroad program. The students were enrolled in Daniel Skidmore-Hess (political science) and Richard McGrath's (economics) course "Problems of European Integration." The course explores the economic and political issues surrounding the European Union.

Skidmore-Hess and McGrath were joined on the trip by faculty Janet Stone (history), Alberto Fernandez (criminal justice) and Linda Hansen (secretary of the criminal justice, social and political science department). The group visited the University of Southern Denmark, where they participated in a political science seminar in Odense and an economics seminar in Sonderborg. In Sonderborg the group also visited the historical battleground of Dybbol Mill.

While in Denmark, the group visited many cities, including the capital Copenhagen, where they heard presentations at the Danish Industry, Foreign Ministry and Parliament. They also visited the National Museum of Denmark, the Carlsber (an art and antiquities museum) and the museum of Danish Resistance. During their free time several students traveled to Roskilde’s Viking Ship Museum and neighboring Sweden and Germany.
