I felt welcomed, I felt that I was a part of a community. I also got to learn about different resources, tips and tricks to apply for study abroad, and overall the meaning of being a global citizen. While 2020 has been challenging for many reasons, I know I still have a community to turn to in the Fall when the school year starts again.”
