HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT

"I gained a new way of looking at the world through this program; the cultural immersion experience helped me understand what daily life is like in a low-income country. The independent study was definitely a highlight for me because I had clear academic goals and a topic that I wanted to explore; SIT provided all the resources, connections and support to make the research possible."
