Mission
With the founding of Students Go West, we wanted to offer athletes from Austria the opportunity to combine sports and studies without having to compromise in either area.
Fabio Rumpler went through the academy of Admira Wacker Mödling and had the opportunity to showcase his skills with the Admira Juniors in men's football for two years. After declining a professional contract, Fabio transferred to Middle Georgia State University in Macon, Georgia, and subsequently, after a personally successful year, to Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska.
