Fulbright U.S. Administrators in Germany Program

Today was our last day at H-BRS. We learnt more about the unique international programs that the university offers. But the morning started with our Fulbright group taking part in an undergraduate class on Intercultural Communication. It was a great experience talking with a diverse group of students about German culture and American culture. Our class contained students from Germany, France, Canada, Russia, Turkey, Kenya, and Ghana. H-BRS, like many German universities, has undergraduates from many countries. In some classes, German students are in the minority. The theme of internationalization continued through the day and ended with a look at transfer projects between H-BRS and countries in Africa.

The picture shows what is called the Hornet – a display wall that is use for high resolution visualization. The image, at a distance is Saturn, but close up is comprised of thousands of individual images. It reminded me of Pear Blossom Highway the photo collage by David Hockney where individual images create a picture that is more than the sum of its parts.
