The program offered an accessible “bite-sized” oppurtunity for students to be exposed to a transformative learning experience that could inspire students to study abroad or bare minimum expose students who may not otherwise study abroad to interactive experiences of communicating with peers from diverse backgrounds & a more global mindset. Thank you once again for passing along this unique opportunity! Looking back, I am truly proud in having gone above & beyond to participate in this experience.”
