Info Event: In times like these - Studying in the United States
In times like these: Studying in the United States – Questions and Answers
“You got tuh go there tuh know there,” says Janie in Zora Neale Hurston’s novel Their Eyes Were Watching God.
Maybe you’ve already thought about going there - doing an exchange program in the U.S. - because you know it could be a valuable experience for your personal growth and future career. But perhaps you’re unsure whether now is the right time, or how such an opportunity might work for you.
This panel discussion, featuring guests from both the U.S. and Germany, is designed to help you find your way. Our speakers will share their personal experiences with studying abroad—how it changed their perspectives, the challenges they faced, and what they learned from their time abroad. Some of our panelists have only recently returned from the United States, so we’ll also explore the current situation at American universities and other relevant topics that might help you planning your own journey.
Our guests are:
- Amadeus Barrenbrügge, TU Dortmund Student, just finished his semester abroad at University of Nebraska at Omaha
- Dr. Benjamin Brandt, Associate Professor, University of Pittsburgh, Graduated from TU Dortmund
- Lucy Hall, Exchange Student from Agnes Scott College, Atlanta, at TU Dortmund
- Laura Hope, International Office TU Dortmund, Graduated from Oglethorpe University
- Dr. Zack Turpin, Associate Professor, University of Idaho, currently Fulbright Professor at TU Dortmund
- Oguzhan Yilmaz & Kaan Alaca, TU Students, who will study at San Diego in Fall 2025
