Taylor Ness: Final Project Proposal


For my final project I would do an audio slideshow about students who are studying abroad at the University of Maryland. While I am planning to study abroad next semester I am very interested in the concept of people experiencing abroad here. I would focus on one student, Emilie-Rose Aidan, who is here from her university in Canterbury but is from France. I would also interview other students that are here from other countries and the advisors the University of Maryland assigned to them. The story hook would possibly be that Emilie’s mother is originally from New Jersey, so she doesn’t have an accent and students usually don’t believe that she is here abroad. A different hook could be that she has been away from home before in a similar way, on a trip to Israel for a year. Some ambient sound could be students talking to each other with different accents. The headline could be: Abroad in America. I would plan to have my piece be around 3:00.
