After my many years at MPA, I went to the University of Denver (DU). I attended for two years before studying abroad at Semester at Sea for the fall of 2013—my junior year. At DU, I focused on business/economic classes as well as a blend of writing, French and music (thanks to MPA).
Semester at Sea was an excellent study abroad program that I would recommend it to every student researcher—it is a semester aboard a ship, traveling from port to port, learning about the global communication system, vastly diverse cultures and applying hands on experience you wouldn’t normally receive in a classroom setting. My semester circumnavigated the Atlantic Ocean, traveling south across Europe and Africa, moving west to South America and finally landing north in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A whopping 15 countries and 4 continents in a semester’s time made it truly a once in a lifetime study abroad opportunity—something I hold dear to my heart.
