- Where did you study abroad and what program? The Global Marketing Practicum Spring Break program to France & Greece (a Faculty Led program traveling to France and Croatia for Spring 2023).
- How would you describe your overall experience abroad? I loved my experience studying abroad, I gained a whole new perspective on the world and memories that I’ll remember for a lifetime.
- Do you have any advice for other Hispanic/Latinx students considering study abroad? Some advice I would give is to just go for it! The world is so big and it’s awesome to see the diversity of other places in the world, especially of your own background.
- Is there anything else you would like to share? Studying abroad is such an amazing opportunity and it’s a great way to get out of your comfort zone and gain a better understanding of the world.
