WKCTC Study Abroad Trip to Germany, Switzerland and Austria

Open to Community, Sign Up Early

MEDIA RELEASE: Paducah, KY (09/29/2017) — It's time to sign up for West Kentucky Community and Technical College's study abroad adventure. Sign up now to travel to Germany, Switzerland and Austria in May 2018.

The trip, which is open to WKCTC students, faculty, staff and the community, will provide travellers with 14-days of culture and history as they explore the Swiss mountains and Bavarian forest, enjoy romantic cityscapes and architecture, pass through the scenery from the classic film The Sound of Music, and much more.

Germany, Switzerland, and Austria share a language, but each has its own charm with breathtaking alpine landscapes and historic palaces, cathedrals, and fortresses," said Pat Blaine, WKCTC study abroad trip coordinator and English coordinator. "Baroque architecture and music will be a central part of looking back into the 17th century, as the tour blends together the modern with the past."

Trip information and early registration can be found at patblaine.grouptoursite.com. Trip payment plans are available.

For more information about the WKCTC Study Abroad Program, contact Pat Blaine pat.blaine@kctcs.edu or by calling (270) 534-3207.
