HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT

"I gained a new perspective on the world; staying in a homestay in Switzerland and Morocco and making connections with them opened my eyes to a different way of life and knowledge I will have and can use in future endeavors. The academics were so interesting and I learned so much about global health through engaging lectures. Some lectures inspired me to the point of realizing what I want to do for work in the future which I'm very grateful for."
