A graduate  of Whittier Vocational Technical High School in 2010, Dwyer first heard  about this program from his professor, Joe Guy, and jumped at the  opportunity. Dwyer is looking forward to traveling and being able to  teach English to others.  Dwyer says \u201cthe application  process is very stressful, but in the end it was worth it.\u201d  Interested  applicants must be attending a community college, have completed one  semester of German language, complete an intensive application, and  provide letters of recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>Dwyer  will leave for Radolfzell, Germany this June and will be enrolled in a  one-month language course at the Carl Duisberg Centrum,  a language school in Radolfzell. After completion of this course Dwyer  will be in a two-month internship working at a summer camp and teaching  English before returning home in late August.<\/p>\n<p>As  a participant in this program all expenses are paid, including,  accommodations, airfare, language course, health and accidental  insurance, and spending money each month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Northern Essex Community College student, Daniel Dwyer of Salisbury, has been accepted to participate in the Baden W\u00fcrttemberg Stipendium Work Immersion Study Program (WISP) this summer in Germany.
