Alumni Spotlight

Our alumni for this week is Strohmann Breeding. Strohmann participated in the student exchange with County Kildare, Ireland in 2015. Currently he is a student at the University of Arkansas. Strohmann believed that, “The Lexington Sister Cities has allowed me to explore new places, meet new lifelong friends, and make the world a smaller and more beautiful place. I now have a lovely second family in Kildare, Ireland, and have visited them multiple times now. Having studied abroad multiple times now in college, the Sister Cities program remains the most impactful traveling I have done yet. It is SO important to learn how to travel and handle oneself independently in the global community at such a young age.”
