DKE’s Around the Globe

by Wiley Houldin

This past semester, Brother Nicholas DiNino ’15 studied at Jacobs University in Bremen, Germany. Lafayette College offers many exchange programs to its students. Brother DiNino had not traveled much before this spring semester, and he could not pass up the opportunity to study abroad. Nicholas chose Germany due to its central location in Europe, its proximity to other countries that he wanted to visit, and its abundance of culture and different way of living. Nicholas shared the experience with fellow Rho DKE’s Brendan Malone, Sam Todd, and Dan Zakzewski. Nicholas found it helpful to have these friendly faces on a new campus and on a completely different continent.

In Bremen, Nicholas enrolled in a German Politics and Culture course, completed his Math minor, and worked towards his Electrical and Computer Engineering degree. Nicholas often studied for the Electrical Engineering course with Brother Malone. With their German Politics and Culture course, Nicholas and fellow Rho DKE’s traveled to Berlin, Helgoland, Brussels, and St. Petersburg, where they learned about German politics, the European Union, and Russia. In addition to the educational experience, the DKE’s were given time to explore the cities, visit historical sites, and enjoy the nightlife. Nicholas spent his spring break with Brother Zakzewski traveling throughout Italy. He enjoyed seeing the country of his ancestors and spending time with one of his brothers.

Since returning to the United States, Nicholas has been working in the restaurant industry for King Coil Cleaning, a company that services draft beer systems. Nicholas has also continued his travels in Maine, Washington DC, and New York City from his home in West Hartford, Connecticut.
