Testimonials

Elisabeth Kerby, ‘23 Communication Sciences and Disorders BS

This study abroad experience was the most meaningful to me because I got to travel across the world and learn so much history. I spent evenings exploring London with close friends I made during the trip. This opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime experience where I learned so much about myself and others.

Payton Ferency, ‘25, Intelligence Analysis

When most people think about Puerto Rico, they talk about the vacation aspect, but I was able to see the daily lifestyles. I saw how Puerto Ricans live every day, and it was an eye-opening experience. The trip taught me so many important life skills, and it made me mentally stronger.

Dr. Alex Elvis Badillo, Department of Earth and Environmental Systems

Working and being involved in different archeological projects has allowed me to create many opportunities for students. For an archaeology student, the experience of working in the field is critical because if you want a job after you graduate, you have to have a field school or a field experience that’s substantial.

Dr. Mary Howard-Hamilton, Educational Administration: Higher Education Leadership and Chair of Department of Educational Leadership

South Africa doesn’t have student affairs programs. They don’t train people to be orientation leaders, provosts, etc. They don’t have that level of training. So, they ask us to come to South Africa and train these individuals. I learn so much from South Africans when I’m over there, too. I learn more about their culture.
