My time in Ghana has transformed my perspective on life. It made me realize that I’m in a larger equation of what’s happening in the world whether I like it or not, and I have a part to play in making the world a better place. Rebecca Chen, 2018 President’s Award for Global Learning, Ghana

Living in Japan was an extremely eye-opening experience. So many doors will open when you get out of your comfort zone. Alondra Albarran, B.A. ’18, JET Program English teacher

I had always wanted to volunteer abroad, and I found about Peace Corps at the Global Professional Training program for East and Southeast Asia. I would have never imagined that I could build such strong relationships on the other side of the world in such a short period of time. Miguel Robles, B.S. ’18, Peace Corps Volunteer in Indonesia

Being in a new place allowed me to meet so many different people that I wouldn’t have been able to meet in the U.S. It was hard moving to a new place across the world by myself, but I grew so much as a person. Avi Minocha, B.S. '20, interned in Singapore

I wanted to do something where I was interacting with people and I can see the impact that my work had on the world. Stepping into someone else's shoes is always going to be the best way to see something from a different viewpoint. Cameron Goff, B.S. ’19, interned in Barcelona, Spain
