London/U.K. “I believe studying abroad is essential to the learning experience. I have participated in five study abroad/away programs (Galapagos Island, Model United Nations New York, Ireland, Cuba, and United Kingdom). With each program, I learn more about myself while gaining an understanding and appreciation of different cultures. This is something that just can’t be done in a classroom. As a student, I initially studied abroad to see more of the world. What I didn’t expect was to learn how to adapt in diverse situations and discover new ways to problem solve. I used to be afraid to go outside of my comfort zone, but through studying abroad I’ve learn to expand it.” – Rachel Arant, MPA student, BA in History (Photos courtesy of Rachel Arant) A LOOK AHEAD Upcoming Study Abroad/Away opportunities Spring 2019 • Belgium and the Netherlands – Art • Costa Rica: First Year Experience – Sociology, Inquiry • New York – Jazz • New York: Model United Nations – Political Science, Honors Spring 2019 Course/Summer Travel • China – History, Chinese, Humanities Summer 2019 • Nova Scotia – History, Biology • Salamanca, Spain – Spanish • Scotland – Communication, Music, Humanities • Los Angeles – English, Honors Support the programs Coming Soon: A new scholarship fund for Study Abroad Check the next issue of #WeArePamplin for more information on the upcoming scholarship fund. www.augusta.edu/pamplin | 25
