Ann Arbor — The laughs ensue. They always do.
When Michigan linebacker Jared Wangler reveals that after the team’s trip to Rome concludes, he will be heading to Iceland to study fairy tales in Iceland as part of a three-week study-abroad program through the university, it’s hard not to giggle.
“Everyone gets a kick out of it,” Wangler said Tuesday after practice. “And we even got a kick out of it at first, but when we went into the orientation for it, it’s all about creative writing.”
The program is offered through Michigan’s Center for Global and Intercultural Study (CGIS), and Wangler will be joined by teammates Henry Poggi and freshman Will Hart along with other Michigan students as they earn three credits studying Norse fables and contemporary fairy tales and the art of creative writing.
