Program Reviews:
Summer 2019 Participant
The most rewarding part had to be the interaction with the students and faculty at Nelson Mandela University in Port Elizabeth while we were there. I was able to learn so much through their experiences as students there and found I could relate to them in so many ways. I also valued our visit to a local township, which showed the massive wealth inequality within South Africa.

Summer 2019 Participant
I got so much more out of this study abroad experience than I could have ever expected. Apart from learning about a completely new culture and how business is carried out differently in South Africa, I also grew much closer to my peers that I will be in class with during the next academic year.

Jason Shindler, Summer 2019 Participant
I found my interactions with the Nelson Mandela University students to be the most rewarding part of the program. Having the opportunity to interact and converse with others from a different cultural background is quite rewarding. It is not often at KU that I get the opportunity to speak with international students, so getting the change to do so abroad greatly enhanced my South African experience.
