Program Reviews:
Spring Break 2025 Participant
I feel changed after returning home from Cuba. Learning about the history and politics of the Cuban people helped me to better understand American politics.

Spring Break 2025 Participant
I found the internal conflicts I was feeling on this trip to be the most rewarding. In particular, being face-to-face with the consequences of U.S. foriegn policy does change someone's perspectives in drastic ways.

Spring Break 2025 Participant
This was my first time experiencing first-hand how the United States treats the people who disagree with our philosophy. Seeing how our nation had used its power to disenfranchise the Cuban people, I was amazed at their lack of resentment.
