My name is Andrew Carbaugh. I am an undergraduate student at the University of Massachusetts. For the next week I will be attending a Fulbright program as a part of the Commission for Educational Exchange between the US, Belgium, and Luxembourg. This program will focus on the issues currently facing The European Union and NATO. During this program I will be visiting the US embassy in Luxembourg, various EU institutions in Luxembourg and Brussels, NATO headquarters, and SHAPE headquarters.
In this blog, I will be reflecting primarily on what I learn from the briefings and lectures I attend, and my experiences interacting with people from all over Europe, whether they be fellow students or formal academics. The purpose of this blog is not for me to feign pretentious conclusions on how to solve the world's problems, and I won't pretend that what I'm saying is anything that has not been said before.
However, one experiences and sees thing in their own way. Perhaps a first hand account of a college student attending a seminar with Fulbright scholars on subjects he knows little to nothing about could at least provide a different, albeit less informed, prospective on the issues that will be addressed in this seminar.
