These photographs were taken by Christian Phillip Zanetis during the summer of 2014. The courses were Emerging Markets in Riga, Latvia and Global Banking and Trading in Copenhagen, Denmark, organized by DIS (Danish Institute for Study Abroad). These photographs were part of the Study Abroad Photo Exhibit on October 14, 2014. Christian Phillip Zanetis is a member of the class of 2016 of Washington and Lee University. Student statement about their experience: "My abroad experience was incredible. This summer I studied Global Banking & Trading in Copenhagen, Denmark and Emerging Markets in Riga, Latvia. My emphasis in Denmark was on European equity and currency markets paired with an overview of the “Next 11” countries. I gained knowledge on how to trade foreign currencies, equity derivatives, options and perform technical analysis. In Riga, I developed an entry strategy for Vestas Wind Systems and assessed the opportunities in Latvia for companies from the United States. I also had the opportunity to travel to Norway and to various cities in Denmark. I met so many great people and saw so many great things. Traveling really does broaden the mind and I would definitely recommend studying abroad to others. I loved it so much I will be returning to Denmark this October to compete in the Nordic Trading Competition! "
