Luther graduate honored with teaching position in Austria

Luther College graduate Kirsten Hash has been selected to serve as a U.S. Teaching Assistant in Austria for the 2014-15 academic year.
Hash will serve as an English teaching assistant in Austrian secondary schools. Her duties in the classroom setting include teaching lessons, leading small-group book discussions and engaging in one-on-one conversations with students. As part of the program's goals, it will be her duty to make learning English a lively, cross-cultural experience.

Administered by the Fulbright Commission, the AAEC has sent more than 2,900 college graduates to teach in Austria since 1962. Teaching assistants are provided with a salary to cover health insurance and living expenses and are expected to act as cultural ambassadors and promote mutual understanding across national borders.
