Winter Break 2023 Participant
I learned to go with the flow on this program. Sometimes, times aren't going to match up or something may happen with the schedule, and that's okay!

Nathan J Pearce, Winter Break 2016 Participant
Learning about another culture is rewarding because it provides a bigger picture of the world than we tend to have in America. I loved seeing what kinds of things that other countries, namely Costa Rica, do better than we do as Americans. I enjoyed conceptualizing how we might improve certain aspects of our country's operations and culture.

Winter Break 2023 Participant
I learned about how big countries outsource a lot of their manufacturing or service centers. Before this trip, I did not know that much about free trade zones or how large corporations can support smaller countries. This will help me understand business better when entering the workforce.
