Savannah Prager, a junior majoring in Psychology and Journalism, chose NYU Prague because of her last name. Just kidding— though “Prager” means a person from Prague. A New Jersey native, she believes that living in Central Europe was an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity especially in the fall semester of 2022 with the political climate in Central and Eastern Europe.
Savannah was the assistant editor for the NYU Prague Blog club, where students post bi-weekly articles about life in the Czech Republic. Additionally, she helps to plan events, with other NYU students, for Ukrainian refugee children.
