My name is Nicholas Aufmuth, and I am currently a sophomore in Carlson studying Marketing, with minors in Strategic Management and Sports Management. I am from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin (right in between Milwaukee and Chicago). In my spare time, I like to play and watch sports (football, basketball, and baseball) and hangout with my friends. I first heard about this program in my intro to sports management class. After looking further into the program, it looked like something I would like to partake in. One of the things I’m looking forward to is immersing myself in this new culture, and learning about the culture norms and traditions, as well as learn a lot about Buddhism.
