Alan Carter, Spain
As a sophomore abroad for an academic year I never would have imagined how much of an impact study abroad would have on me. I am living the dream in Salamanca, Spain, which has become my home away from home.
Gretchen Pyscher, Ireland
For my Therapeutic Recreation Fieldwork I had the honor to work at Barretstown Camp in Ballymore Eustace, Ireland. This camp is for kids with serious illness and it gives them a break to just be kids again.
Kendra Pollard, Thailand
The four months that I spent in Thailand were full of adventure, excitement, and so many opportunities to grow. Thailand challenged me to really step out of my comfort zone and it pushed me to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Abigail Lyons, Dominican Republic
This past summer, I spent six weeks in the Dominican Republic, with Professor Serrata.(The faculty-led program) I stayed with a host family in Santo Domingo, which is the capital of the DR, and my host mom was amazing!
Ashley Handy - Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Being able to study abroad in the UAE was the best experience ever. I come from an Arab family, but I never had the opportunity to actually visit the Middle East. When I decided I wanted to study abroad, I already knew exactly where I wanted to go: Dubai.
Carolyn 'Care' McLean, South Africa
This summer was a series of excitement, challenges, exploration, enjoyment, failures, and victories.
Liliana Rodriguez, Oman/Dubai
My experience abroad was eye opening and life changing. I went to a part of the world where many people view is horrible and unsafe, but I see it as another home.
Brody Cragg, Norway
During my time in Oslo, the program took me to government facilities, field trips, and hiking excursions all to help me better understand the Norwegian lifestyle.
Meghan Augsburger, Rwanda
My name is Meghan Augsburger and I am a Senior majoring in International Relations and minoring in German. This summer I studied abroad in Rwanda for 3 weeks with Global Youth Connect and their partner, The New School of Eugene Lang College in NYC.
Karlye Zattlin, Argentina
"Studying abroad in Argentina I expected to learn a lot in the classroom and to become more independent, and I did. But so much more important was the community and life-long friendships that I made and the lessons I learned serving underprivileged."
