Baker student receives Fulbright scholarship

Baker University senior Justine Greve has received a Fulbright scholarship for the 2009-2010 academic year to serve as an English teaching assistant at a German school.

Greve, who is majoring in German, English and history, is originally from Topeka. She will graduate May 17 at the Baldwin City campus. She is scheduled to be in Germany from September to June 2010.

“I have always found linguistics and word origins interesting. I enjoy learning about different cultures and the relationships between different words and languages,” Greve said. “I am looking forward to sharing the American culture with the students in Germany.”

The Fulbright English Teaching Assistantships Program, which is an element of the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, places U.S. students as English-teaching assistants in schools or universities overseas.
