Jack Burke on UMD-Winter: Japan and South Korea
"Studying abroad really came to bring me a new sense of how my skills could be used internationally rather than domestically, and really pushed me to consider a more global view of business."
Chiara Sforza on UMD-Summer: Italy (ENGL)
"I gained writing skills and knowledge about how customs and food traditions can differ in other countries. These skills will allow me to write better and also better understand and appreciate people who have different cultures from my own."

"Studying abroad was the best decision I've ever made! It helped me step out of my comfort zone and become more confident in myself."
Sedric White on UMD-Winter: India (HLTH)
"A skill I gained while in India was the ability to connect with people from the region on a deeper level - especially those who live in the US now. Meaning, I am able to relate to those whose lineage comes from the area which is important for my future in a diverse work environment."
