Growing up in Gilbert, Maggie Landwer ‘25 had several colleges nearby. But when it came time to decide where she wanted to go to college, Landwer wanted to venture a little bit farther away from home.
That same wayfaring spirit launched Landwer into three separate study abroad opportunities as a student at the University of Minnesota Morris—to Latvia, Germany, and Peru.
Landwer had saved for college, but was also named a Prairie Scholar. That, in part, helped pay for her study abroad opportunities.
The most recent was a summer research project with Morton Gneiss Endowed Professor Michael Zavada, who was invited as a Fulbright Research project at Universidad Nacional del Altiplano de Puno (UNA). Along with undergraduate and graduate students from UNA, Landwer was one of three UMN Morris students to participate in the project, spending six weeks in the Puno region of Peru.
