Global Experience Student Spotlight

GECP Student Elizabeth Tweadey describes participation in Spain Study Abroad program:

"This is a picture of me at the Oceanográfico in Valencia, Spain in the shark tunnel! The Oceanográfico (o L'Oceanografic in Valenciano, the language spoken in Valencia in addition to Spanish) is the largest aquarium in Europe and the third largest aquarium in the world. It is located in La Ciudad de Artes y Ciencias (the city of arts and sciences) in Valencia, which is a collection of a bunch of different museums and theaters.

I heard about this global experience first because my cousin (who was also a member of the GECP a few years ago) went on this study abroad in 2017. One thing that I will never forget about this experience is the opportunity that I had to make so many friends, both from MSU and from Spain. The biggest way that this experience impacted me was that it gave me a lot of perspective and a really good anchor point for cultural comparison. I am now able to think more critically about my own experiences living and working in the U.S. because I have another lifestyle and culture to compare to my life here."
