Professor Dalton Krauss and the Importance of Study Abroad
鈥淧rofessor Krauss served multiple terms as the chair of the Committee on Study Abroad, putting his enthusiastic stamp of approval on policies that gave听equitable听access to study abroad opportunities, says Director of SAGE Neva Barker. 鈥淗e understood that learning听doesn鈥檛听stop at the classroom door鈥攊t deepens when students engage directly with the world, especially when learning and using the local language. His legacy will live on in each student who steps outside their comfort zone to build meaningful connections across cultures.鈥�听
As an educator, Krauss believed deeply in the power of global education to shape thoughtful, engaged citizens. His gift will help remove financial barriers and open doors to immersive, life-changing global study for students who may not have thought it was鈥痑 possibility.听听
鈥淒alton Krauss devoted 45 years to teaching at Scripps, shaping generations of students with the same passion that first took hold during his own high school study abroad experience,鈥� says Professor of French and Francophone Studies Nathalie Rachlin. 鈥淭rained at Yale and specializing in 18th-century French literature, he also brought French cinema鈥攅specially the New Wave of the 1960s鈥攊nto his classrooms with unmistakable joy.鈥�听
Rachlin notes how often Dalton shared the ways study abroad changed his life. He carried that conviction into everything he did鈥攆rom his research in Paris to summers spent in Brittany and Cassis.听
鈥淪haring his love of French culture became his life鈥檚 work,鈥� adds Rachlin. 鈥淗is gift to the College reflects that enduring belief: that students deserve to discover new passions and grow in ways they never anticipated.鈥�听
