Experience, Learnings, and Conclusions from the ARC Presentation in Washington, D.C The experience of presenting in Washington, D.C. from December 2–4 was truly memorable and enlightening. One of the aspects I most enjoyed was hearing from other groups and comparing their work to ours not in a competitive way but to consider what additional ideas…
Appalachia Regional Resilience – Experience, Learnings, and Conclusions from the Community Presentation
Presenting our work to the Connellsville community on November 14th was a meaningful and memorable experience that brought together everything my team had been working on throughout the semester. It was exciting to receive the community’s direct feedback and to understand how our work could be improved or expanded in the future. I was struck…
Farewell Florence
As my semester here in Florence comes to an end I’ve been reflecting on my experiences here. I always knew I wanted to study abroad, but I had no idea how much growth I would actually get out of it. I am extremely grateful to my scholarship donors for helping give me the opportunity to…
Final Week Abroad
I have had such an amazing experience studying, working, and living in Dublin, Ireland the past few months. It has truly been a life-altering experience and one I wouldn’t trade for anything.

When I first came here, I realized I had…

Rent! @ Sydney Opera House

Even before the show began, I was completely struck by the architecture of the building itself. Everyone knows the Opera House from photos and postcards, but seeing…
What Sydney Taught Me About Work and People
During my time in Sydney, I split my days between business classes and an internship at Our Big Kitchen, a community kitchen not far from Bondi Beach. Academically I was taking International Marketing, Global HR Management, and International Economics, and at the same time I was getting to see how some of those ideas show…
A Middle Name, a Visa, and a Pivot
During my time in Sydney, one of the most meaningful moments didn’t happen at a tourist spot or in a classroom. It happened in a government office that felt like an Australian version of the DMV, and it all started with one missing middle name. To properly participate in my internship at Our Big Kitchen,…
