“My essay was on the role of social media in globalization,” she tells us. “To be quite honest I was shocked that I won! It was a very pleasant surprise, and a fun and interesting essay to write.”
She will be participating in a nationwide conference sponsored and paid for by the German Embassy in Washington, D.C. from March 3-5. Along with candidates from other participating universities, she will have opportunities to exchange ideas, explore the nation’s capital, and take part in a final competition with an oral presentation of her essay.
Let’s all press our thumbs and wish her Hals- und Beinbruch!
