The Summer School of Science and Engineering sits nestled in the junction of the Rh\u00f4ne and Sa\u00f4ne rivers in Lyon, France. It\u2019s there that Anna Haskins spent last summer studying and exploring the historic city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The textile engineering<\/a> junior was one of three NC State students to attend the Summer School, which draws students from all over the world looking to expand their knowledge while abroad. <\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to study abroad because I feel like that\u2019s an experience that\u2019s once in a lifetime, and you should really take advantage of it if you have the opportunity,\u201d Haskins says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing Disciplines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Attending the Summer School gave her the perfect opportunity to push herself academically in a completely new environment. All the students in the program completed two classes during their stay in France: a French class and a general science class which explored topics in the broader engineering and science fields. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy favorite lab that we did was colorimetry,\u201d Haskins says. \u201cIt\u2019s color matching, which is a very specific skill set that not a lot of people have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

The colorimetry lab, and another lab where the students dyed and finished leather using albino alligator skin, tied specifically back to textiles and textile engineering, a field many of the other students had never encountered before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe also did a lab where we finished a textile fiber with a fluorocarbon so it became water and oil repellent,\u201d Haskins explains. \u201cEveryone who wasn\u2019t a textile major thought it was the coolest thing, and I really liked seeing that reaction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broadening Horizons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While the students shared their majors and studies in class, outside of the classroom they also shared the languages and cultures they brought with them from around the world. The program organized events for the students every weekend, taking them on adventures like a pastry making class, a winery tour, and a hike through the Alps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI definitely learned a lot about the cultures of Mexico, the UK and Sweden specifically,\u201d Haskins says. \u201cThe United States is completely different from those countries, so I really learned how to interact with people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This interaction extended beyond just her classmates and the city of Lyon. Haskins spent weekends traveling to other cities and countries, taking in some of the most beautiful sights around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery weekend we would travel to another city,\u201d she says. \u201cI think my favorite was Geneva. It was really amazing to see it and experience everything. There are so many cultures coming together there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Haskins also spent time enjoying everything the city of Lyon has to offer, trying new foods and exploring the many different districts of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Lyon is known as the food capital of France and after eating there I can understand why,\u201d she says. \u201cSome of the amazing Lyonnaise dishes were pike quenelle which is a light, fluffy fish souffl\u00e9. Another specialty was pink pralines which are a combination of sugar and nuts to create this dessert which looks like a raspberry and is used to create tartes, pastries and ice cream.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with her new memories of traveling and exploring, Haskins says she also brought a focus on sustainability back with her to the Wilson College of Textiles this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Summer School is focused around sustainability,\u201d she explains. \u201cIt made me focus more on my impact, and how I can play a positive role in the textile industry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"\n\n\n\n\n
