Global Experience Student Spotlight

GECP Student Julianna Bruno describes participation in the Reeves Scholars Program:

"This summer, I was part of a reciprocal exchange program between Michigan State University and the University of Cape Coast in Ghana called the Reeves Scholars, which I heard about from a TE professor. Our cohort consists of eight future educators from each school, and it was the first year the program traveled.

After my study abroad, I have more historical context to better understanding of the history of colonialism and the ways that it continues to impact the religious and educational policies of countries today."
