“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 – Department of Mass Communication
