Program Abroad:

Semester Abroad (SA): IFSA Program in Cuba
Ask me about...
-
A unique aspect about my experience that I think other students should ask me about is learning how to navigate a non-English speaking environment for months, and adapting to an academic setting that functions in Spanish at all times.
My Experience Abroad:
My time abroad in Cuba was perfect for my concentration in the African diaspora for my Africana Studies major. I was able to take many classes that are related to my majors; such as Caribbean Literature and Sociology of Culture.
Other Highlights:
-
Amazing host mom who shared many of her values and part of her identity with me, while also encouraging me to be persistent and resilient in life.
-
The music and the food!
-
Having the opportunity to be in an environment where people prioritize work-life balance
-
I did an independent study which I will hopefully use for my senior CAPSTONE Paper
