Luther College Woman's Club October meeting

Get a glimpse of a collegiate study-abroad experience in Oaxaca, Mexico, at the next meeting of the Luther College Woman’s Club, to be held Tuesday, October 20, at 1:30 pm at Shirley Baker Commons, Baker Village, Decorah. 

Luther students Charlie Krob and Vienna Bell will present “Spanish for Medical (Pre) Professionals: Students’ Clinical and Cultural Experience in Oaxaca, Mexico” during the meeting. The presentation will dive into their January-term study-abroad experience, which included a week of clinical rotations in Santa María Coyotepec. The clinicians there, Charlie told Luther magazine, “taught me something more impactful than medical terminology or conjugations of Spanish verbs—they helped me learn how to slow down, to savor simplicity, to appreciate the quiet parts of life just as much as the exciting ones.”
