EVENTS

" I took trains across the UK, rode buses, and traversed the Underground, I cultivated independence, self-confidence, directional awareness, and navigating skills I didn’t realize I had. Adapting to a new culture and realizing the differences between societies and cultures was fascinating. I don’t think I can comprehend or communicate how much traveling abroad has enriched me socially, mentally, and in other ways.

Joseph G., Arcadia London Internship

“The CGII funds will be used for traveling to Philippines to conduct my ethnographic research to learn more about Philippine nursing and understand the contemporary and connect contemporary with historical aspects."

Ren Capucao, Fulbright Scholar

“I’ve often wondered how people in Europe are able to travel to countries that speak a different language but I understand it. Even though you may not speak the language, you can still communicate with people…I learned to not be afraid  when visiting foreign countries.”

Garrett Piazza, UVA in Valencia
