Student Experiences
| "Iowa State's LCP Program helped me prepare for my marketing internship with INTROMAC, an engineering firm in Spain. Working Abroad improved my ability to communicate in Spanish, but I was also able to familiarize myself with a specialized area that I had previously known very little about." |

|
| "My LCP Classes thoroughly prepared me to study abroad and participate in an engineering internship in Cáceres, Spain, which has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had."
- Brian Alberto, LCP Engineering Major |

"It was an exciting time and one that I will value the rest of my life. Studying abroad and taking German classes allowed me to experience unique and
interesting situations while at Iowa State and in Marburg. I have friend that I will know the rest of my life because of German and I cannot put a value on
that. The LCP program was something that I think you are doing a wonderful job with and I wish you continued success."
- Dan Poggensee, LCP Graduate in German / International Business / Management (Fall 2006) |

2004 graduate, Andrew Schumacher, who received his degree in mechanical engineering and German, is convinced that his experience working in Germany for John Deere and BMW was a key factor in securing his position at Toyota this year. "l learned so much more than just how to speak the language by taking German. I am now working for Toyota and I am positive that I would never have even been considered for the job if
I had not had my international experiences." |

| Tom Bruton, a 2006 graduate, states that "I studied Civil Engineering and Spanish at Iowa State University. I spent the fall semester of my junior year taking classes at the Universidad de Extremadura and completing an internship at CATELSA, S.A. in Cáceres, Spain. I also participated in a two week study-abroad trip to Peru in January 2002 through the ISU Honors Program..." |

| Amy Swanson, a 2004 Iowa State chemical engineering graduate, agrees. "I knew that being fluent in Spanish would help my chances of finding a job when I graduated," she said. "I eventually hope to either find an engineering job where I can use my Spanish skills in the United States or I would like to move to Spain and find an engineering job." |
