3 Mendham Students Go Abroad for World Learning Experience

Mendham’s Alden Corbett spent his 2013 fall semester in Scotland as part of the Bates College study abroad program.

Corbett, who graduated Gil St. Bernards in 2011, was one of the college’s juniors to take part in the annual program. He studied at the University of Edinburgh this fall. Corbett is majoring in history and physics at the Maine-based school.

Some 60-percent of Bates students study abroad in more than 80 countries, the college said in a press release.

Two more students with roots in Mendham are planning on studying abroad this winter as well, part of the University of Delaware’s internationally-recognized program.

About 80-percent of the school’s study abroad activity takes place during the winter break, the school said, and Taylor Krannich and Amanda Pedalino, both of Mendham, will join in the experience.

Krannich will head to Paris, France for winter break, while Pedalino will go to Australia and then Hawaii.

More than 1,000 Delaware students will hit 24 different countries as part of 50 programs spanning 39 academic subjects. Students can receive up to seven credits over five weeks of study, the school said.
