Spring Break 2026 Participant
The most rewarding element of the program was the combination of preparation and real-world exposure. The pre-departure sessions helped me develop the skills to engage more intentionally, such as asking thoughtful questions and reflecting on my experiences. Once in London, I was able to apply those skills in real time. This balance made the experience more impactful because I was not just observing, but actively learning and connecting with professionals. It also allowed me to better understand how cross-cultural communication works in practice.

Spring Break 2024 Participant
I learned about a different culture in various aspects. The professional world, the shopping world, the food world, the social world, and simply navigating. Only go to this trip if you are interested in learning more about yourself and how to build a life outside of America. See how you would live and how you feel in various spaces. I have traveled before, but never for a professional trip. I found this interesting because it felt like "after work" I can go and do various activities. I guess I learned more abou thow I am on a fundamental basis and who I'm not.

Spring Break 2024 Participant
One of the most rewarding elements of the program was meeting with KU alums who live in London. These encounters provided invaluable insights into the professional landscape and offered guidance on navigating life in the city. Their stories and advice inspired me and fueled my ambition to one day return to London to work and live.
