LYDIA DIBLASIO , Computer Science, Senior, Class of 2023

“ The Viterbi Berlin WRIT 340 Maymester study abroad experience was the highlight of my Junior year! Every day was an adventure - from analyzing Central Station architecture, walking alongside the Berlin Wall, hearing directly from German engineering professionals, eating at cafes every day, hopping through Museum Island, and everything in between! I was amazed at how quickly I became immersed in the intersection of computer science, Berlin culture, and addressing the Grand Challenges of Engineering on a global scale. Being in Berlin also inspired me to see my career path more creatively and helped me

realize that my work at USC can have a global impact. ”
