Buck Living Gateway Conference, One year later, Annie studied abroad in Strasbourg, France, through an opportunity also provided by the university. There, she studied on the creation and lasting relevance of the European Union, NATO, as well as the Council of Europe.

Annie’s main field is modern European History with an emphasis on German studies. She plans on traveling there in the summer of 2019 to continue studying the country’s language and culture. Her minor topic is modern United States history, specifically the United States’ relationship with the European subcontinent. She is also interested in the history of immigration in Germany in comparison to US immigration history, a topic that she wishes to explore further in her master’s thesis.
