“Experiences like this change the way we see the world. As an international scholar, I was able to live in a new culture and share not only knowledge but different practices with people from a lot of different countries. This experience piqued in me an interest in working with exchange students. I am very grateful for this time in the U.S. and thank the inspiring staff who supported me while I was far from home.”
