Student Experiences

Kathlin Ai Chang, a Public Health major, studied abroad through the SIT: Jordan Counseling and Humanitarian Action Internship!

"The experience is unparalleled by any job I have done in the past. It was beautiful, heart-wrenching, and exhausting, but worth every fiber of my being. The opportunity to connect with people, make a difference, and push my limits filled me with a sense of purpose and fulfillment that I had never experienced before. It was challenging, but the personal and professional growth I gained from it was immeasurable. I will always cherish the memories and the lessons learned from this experience. As Ibn Battuta writes “traveling - it gives you home in thousand strange places, then leaves you a stranger in your own land.”
