“I can say without exaggeration that directing the Ecuador program was a life-changing experience. There is no substitute for personal and direct experience of the life and culture of the countries whose languages we teach, and such direct experience necessarily informs and enhances the experience we in turn can provide to students in the classroom at Towson. In this sense, having had the chance to live and work in Ecuador has been of real benefit to me as a teacher. ”
Dr. Daniel Hanna – Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures

“Study abroad combines several of my passions: travel, teaching, and working with young people.  From teacher, to mentor, to tour guide, to counselor … I’ve learned that I have the temperament, curiosity, energy, compassion, and desire to simultaneously perform these functions and am developing the knowledge and skills to carry them out.  The benefits to being involved in this study abroad program are invaluable for me personally and professionally.”
Dr. Sandy Nichols (Professor Emeritus) – Department of Mass Communication
