  • Elana Naide at the summit of a hike

    "Throughout my semester, I built a support system for myself, with space to talk about experiences and to ask questions. I also watched and became a part of communities, and eventually the 8000 miles between me and my home felt like zero because my community in Cape Town felt just like one."

  • Chiara Sforza on a balcony in Italy

    Chiara Sforza on UMD-Summer: Italy (ENGL)
