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…

I Found My Way

Coming into this experience, I knew I would learn a lot, but I did not expect how much it would actually change me. At first, everything felt unfamiliar.

It is crazy to think that the experience I have been looking forward to for 3 years is finally coming to a close this week. The past four months have been unforgettable, and I am so incredibly grateful for the memories I made and the relationships I formed. The past semester, I traveled to 12…

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. This project took that drive and added a deep level of passion. We were able to not only research and see Caras’ work but live it…
