"Studying abroad is one of the most transformative educational experiences because it has the potential to foster alternative perspectives, dialogue across difference, and an increased capacity for empathy. I'm excited and eager to support our Cal students to find a program that not only matches their career interests, but will also allow them to explore, be challenged, and grow positively in the process!"
"Studying abroad gives us the opportunity to get outside of our comfort zones and experience new ways of thinking and communicating, which helps to develop increased self awareness of how we show up and engage with others."
