What Students Say
Throughout this trip, I have discovered and tapped into creative wells which have enabled me to realize my academic goals and increase my cultural awareness. Because of this experience and my increasing passion toward research, I have decided to continue my education and obtain a Masters Degree. Jamie Marton, 2005 alumna
Studying abroad is not possible for me because I am a non-traditional student and have the responsibilities of a family. The structure of the program has suited my life perfectly and has been extraordinarily satisfactory. I have benefited intellectually and personally from spending quality time with my professors and the guest lecturers. The knowledge and advice they have given is invaluable. I hope I have been able to convey what a wonderful and life-changing experience this has been for me. Laura Evans, 2005 alumna
My experiences overseas have led me to conclude that all people around the world have the same needs and feelings, and should therefore be treated equally as humans. Academically, I learned from our expert presentations the importance of a graduate education. I am now certain that I will strive to obtain at least a Master's degree relating to sociology and health policy . . . Laura Moy, 2005 alumna
