Satchel Flammang has big plans post-grad! 🎉

Flammang, a biology student at University of Arkansas who has studied German, Spanish, AND Italian is headed to Europe for graduate studies in biomembrane science after earning the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship – he was one of 21 students selected out of 3,100 globally!

The two-year program will take him to three universities across Europe, where he will be able to use his unique background in biological sciences and world languages.

“Having knowledge of the national languages of two of the host countries for the program will aid greatly in integration and connection during the program,” he said. “Speaking is not only the most practical language learning skill but is also one of the best ways to reinforce and understand vocabulary and grammar."

Congratulations, Satchel!
