Summer 2024 Participant
The most rewarding was working with the music and speech team in Bulgarian children's day home and elder home. The opportunity to interact with clients in these centers too also moved me because I can see how engaged and happy the music made them feel.

Summer 2024 Participant
There are no words to describe how amazing this study abroad experience was. The interdisciplinary opportunity I gained from speech and music therapy was incredibly invaluable to my professional and personal life. The opportunity to be a clinician in children and adult homes in Bulgaria provided cultural insight that I know no doubt will utilize in my career.

Summer 2024 Participant
Meeting so many new people inside and outside of my major and connecting with my professors were my favorite parts. We also had three amazing tour guides who made the experience so special and fun.
