Collegiate 2003 graduate earns 2007-08 Fulbright Scholarship
Caroline Ahearn recently graduated from
the University of Michigan
LOUISVILLE, KY. – Louisville Collegiate
School 2003 graduate Caroline Ahearn has been awarded a prestigious
2007-2008 Fulbright Scholarship to teach in Germany. Ahearn
recently graduated from the University of Michigan in Ann
Arbor with a major in German and her Secondary Teaching Certificate.
For her Fulbright honor, Ahearn will be an
English teaching assistant in Siegen, Germany where she will
prepare students for college. The city is a college town of
about 110,000 people in the Western part of Germany, about
an hour away from Cologne.
The Louisville native will be assisting “with
classes from the 5th grade up through the 13th. I look forward
to the chance to teach the students English, teach them about
American culture, and to learn more about studying and teaching
languages from a different perspective,” she said.
The Fulbright Scholar Program sends 800 U.S.
faculty and professionals abroad each year. Grant recipients
lecture and conduct research in a wide variety of academic
and professional fields.
During her senior year at Michigan, Ahearn
worked as a full time, long-term substitute German teacher
in a middle school in Ann Arbor.
“I hope in the future to teach German
at the high school level in the United States,” she
said.
Established in 1915, Louisville Collegiate
School is a co-ed college-preparatory independent school for
students from kindergarten through 12th grade.
