My Story from Global Study: I always knew I wanted to study abroad and I am so grateful that I got the opportunity during my time at Gettysburg. More than anything I was glad to incorporate my academic and career interests with my global experience, providing me with amazing advantages such as a library pass to the United Nations and visiting the World Trade Organization. The power of place played a large role in shaping my time abroad.

My Advice for Future Students: As amazing as it is to travel outside of your area, make sure to explore and enjoy your host city as well. You have a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in that location so take advantage of it!
