Hey, Chase! How did you hear about our program?I heard about this program through Karl; he visited a couple of classes I was in with Dr. Hammerl and talked to us about the trip.
What made you interested in our program?
I thought it was a really cool opportunity. Traveling to Italy and getting to look at mummies... why wouldn't you want to go?
What are you most looking forward to about our program?
I think that I am most looking forward to studying the mummies, but I'm also really excited about being immersed in an entirely different culture.
What are you most worried/anxious about your upcoming adventure in Sicily?
I'm sure I'm not the only one, but the travel makes me a little nervous. I've never flown to Europe, or any other continent/country for that matter, so it should be an interesting experience.
What are your goals after you finish your undergraduate degree?
My goals are still being formed, but as of right now, I plan on going to graduate school and seeing where things go from there.
Is this your first time out of the country?
I've only ever been to Canada and even then I was really young, so I don't remember too much. I've flown to Alaska before, which I know isn't a different country, but it was a very interesting trip. I've always wanted to go to Europe, so I am very excited to finally get to go.
Do you know any Italian words or phrases yet?
I don't know any Italian words, but I think it will be interesting to learn some.
Who is your favorite mummy?
My favorite mummy is Ötzi the Iceman because of how cool his story is and how much we are able to learn about him from his frozen body.
