Those celebrating the Vienna program included Vienna director Ruth Verweijen, associate dean for global education Lyn Isaacson and co-director of the Vienna program Michaela Maschek.
Central’s study abroad program in Vienna marked its 50th anniversary May 18 with a reception at the Schottenstift in Vienna. Central’s current program directors, as well as past program participants, current students and staff, and the Central A Cappella Choir, were on hand for the celebration.
The Vienna program began in the 1966-67 academic year, started by Central German professor Marianne Haydon. The first year, 11 students studied at nine schools in Germany and Austria for a full year. Today, resident director Ruth Verweijen oversees the program, and students take classes through Central College and the University of Vienna.
