This past summer, I spent six weeks in the Dominican Republic, with Professor Serrata.(The faculty-led program) I stayed with a host family in Santo Domingo, which is the capital of the DR, and my host mom was amazing!

Brody Cragg, Norway

Lily Wyble, Ghana
"The world has so much to teach. And when you let yourself soak up the knowledge, culture, and laughter of others, you learn more about yourself than you ever thought was possible. The 7 weeks I lived in Ghana were some of the best weeks of my life..."
Rachel Wehner, Tanzania
"My time in Tanzania, Africa, taught me so much. I gained a passion and a greater appreciation for cultures other than my own....."
