What Students Say
This was a transforming experience for me. I don't know how else to say it. Major benefits were gaining an international perspective and applying research concepts. I learned so much about my own abilities. My self confidence increased. It was an extreme period of growth. It opened my eyes to other options. Until you stretch and reach you won't know these things are out there. Rebecca Donnay, 2002 alumna
