From the Austrian Program faculty and staff, we want to let all the prospective Spring Gaming students know that we are very exited to have you here in just a few days. We have been preparing for the past months and are now ready to kick off another great semester. You have so much to look forward to in the next 19 weeks in Europe:
1. Pilgrimage trips to Vienna, Salzburg, Munich, and hopefully Mariazell
2. Lent / Easter in Europe
3. Studying with amazing, passionate professors
4. Living in a former Carthusian Monastery over 700 years old!
5. Encounter amazing priests, sisters, families in a small intimate community
6. Once in a lifetime pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi
7. Did I mention, trips to Poland and Medjugorje??
8. Just staying back and enjoying Gaming--hiking to the waterfall or spelunking in the caves
9. Jumping in the creek, hiking/exploring in the mountains
10. Weather and time permitting, skiing and white water rafting in the Alps!
11. Being still and knowing God is there
12. Transform your life, grow in holiness
13. Be challenged!!
14. So much more.....
One of the themes I will give you all is one that I have heard Pope Benedict stress over and over again: that Life is an adventure. Gaming is surely going to be an adventure, albeit and imperfect one.
We are so excited to have you all:
See you soon,
Mark Kalpakgian
Director of Student Life - Austrian Program
