This has been a transformative experience for me, driven by a semester of growth, learning, and reflection. It has instilled a slew of skills, knowledge, and lessons, but something that stood out to me was the benefit of prioritizing reflection. It is easy to get caught up in the flow of the semester and the work and easy to forget to take…

Farewell, GSL Bolivia!
As I wrap up my most difficult semester of college by far, I want to take a moment to reflect on one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had in the past three years. The Global Service Learning course has been such a joy to be a part of, and I’m grateful for the opportunity…
Wrapping Up- GSL Bolivia
It’s pretty wild that we are at the end of this project. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were preparing for our on-site visit, and it is hard to believe how fast our time together has flown by. When we began this project at the start of this semester, I could never…
Signing Off…
This class provided me with an experience that changed my perspective on consulting. I have always been driven by projects and the ability to help systems and organizations grow.

Wrapping-Up Global Service-Learning: Trinidad
As our 2026 Global Service-Learning project is wrapping up, I am reflecting on the process as a whole and more specifically what in that process cultivated learning and growth professionally. From a knowledge standpoint, I went into this project with very little project management and grant writing experience, and with this being the basis of our project I needed to adapt quickly to properly complete…
Farewell for now, Bolivia
There is something both sad and sweet about sitting down to write a final reflection when the experience still feels too alive to summarize. When I wrote my very first blog, I was a business student with a passport, a project plan, and a whole lot of hope for this journey. I wrote about wanting…
Closing The Loop: What I’m Carrying Forward From Cochabamba
It’s hard to imagine that we’re wrapping up this project already, as this spring has seemed to completely fly by! We just delivered our final presentation to CEOLI this morning, and I couldn’t be more proud of how it came together. I’m so grateful to all the people I met from this experience, and for…
