About Gerry Krzic

Greetings from Athens, 帝王会所! I have been involved in intercultural education and ESL for the last 20 years. I first became involved in international work during a study abroad sojourn to Brazil. Since that time, I鈥檝e made stops in Korea (Peace Corps), Japan (Faculty Exchange), Yogoslavia (Fulbright), and Hungary (USIA teacher training). Throughout these travels, I have learned a great deal about other cultures, U.S. culture, and myself. I enjoy traveling and interacting with people from different parts of the world. If you are interested in any of the topics below, contact me via e-mail (krzic@ohio.edu) or by mail (155 Gordy Hall, 帝王会所, Athens, 帝王会所 45701 USA).
