Both Susan Jeffords and William Brustein were lively and generous in relaying their vast experience in internationalizing university campuses. They were more than willing to respond to questions and to make their own presentations constructive and focused discussions.

TUNE IN: UW International Students on WPR

Next week, four UW-Madison international students will appear on WPR’s “Here on Earth,” hosted by Jean Feraca. The students–from East Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia–are the winners of an essay contest that asked international students to describe their own and their country’s perception of the US, and how their personal perceptions have changed since moving to Madison.

The interviews will take place on Wednesday, December 12 from 3:00 to 4:00pm on WHA AM 970.

You are encouraged to call in to the program while it is on air. See the Web site for details:

Madison—Most people wouldn’t recognize her face or her name, but this Wisconsin woman’s story stretches far beyond our borders. In mid-November WISC-TV, News 3 will take an in depth look at Milwaukee native and University of Wisconsin–Madison alum, Mildred Fish Harnack and her amazing journey into Nazi Germany—a journey that started with a chance meeting on the UW–Madison campus.

After earning a BA and MA at UW–Madison, she met her husband, German-born Arvid Harnack, while lecturing in Bascom Hall. After moving to Germany, she became a pioneer in the study of American literature and eventually a major force in the underground resistance to the Nazis.

In the end, Fish-Harnack, was the only American woman executed on the direct orders of Adolph Hitler.

Mildred Fish Harnack: Back to Berlin will air each night at 10pm from November 13 -15 on News 3.
