Program Reviews:
Winter Break 2025 Participant
Learning about the culture enough to connect with some of the people there. I liked asking my host family about some of the activities I was going to or their perspective on it to understand deeper.

Winter Break 2025 Participant
Mastering some basic Portuguese is helpful in the journey, even if you aren't fully fluent. It is also important to do what feels right for you once you are abroad, evening if that means passing up on a nighttime activity to get some sleep.

Winter Break 2023 Participant
The classroom sessions were the most rewarding, where I learned the history of Afro-Brazilian religions, and the history of health policies in Brazil, from those who are not only experts in these fields but experienced inequality in Brazil.
