Like most freshmen, he notedthe classes he would have tocomplete in order to earn hisbachelor's degree in AviationScience from Elizabeth CityState University. He later also made room in his schedulefor extracurricular activities, including membership inAlpha Phi Alpha fraternity. One day while scanning abulletin board on campus, he saw an advertisement for theCongress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for YoungProfessionals. This fellowship, funded by the GermanBundestag and U.S. Congress, annually provides 75American and 75 German young professionals theopportunity to spend one year in the other's country,studying, working and living with hosts in a culturalimmersion program.
