"I learned from incredible organizers and academics about their work to advance social movements in Argentina and feel more confident in my understanding of themes like extractivism and ecofeminism.

A student Wellesley College
"Being abroad in Iceland was an incredible experience. I loved the traveling and outdoor components of this program.

Sadie G Brandeis University
"My experience abroad taught me to look at the cultures I am a part of more critically. For the most part, life in Madagascar is vastly different from the U.S., and there are aspects of Malagasy culture I believe Americans could benefit from replicating. My experience has inspired me to consider and change my behaviors and values..."

"Studying abroad was worthwhile because it gave me a different perspective on what I've been studying in the USA.

However, abroad, I had to adjust to different cultures and perspectives on international matters. ..."
