Of Note: Youth Exchange

BYU sophomore Tessa Lush will spend a full year in Germany, starting in July 2011, the recipient of a work-study fellowship from the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange, a program funded by the US Department of State. Lush, a German major, will live with a German host family. The program is unique in that she will do an internship with an international firm, will take classes at a German university, and will study the language intensively. “It’s a big thing, and it’s easy to be scared,” Lush said. “But I’m sure it will be awesome.”
