Foundation Annual Report

“If I had to choose one word to describe my study abroad experience in Puebla, Mexico, it would be serene. I felt at peace—fulfilled with everything I did while I was there. I volunteered at a nursing home and a clinic, and I went to Oaxaca and learned a new dialect. I created many friendships by going out of my comfort zone. I would not trade my experience for anything in the world. It was a privilege to be a recipient of the Joe and Mary Sample Study Abroad Scholarship.”

—Emily Garcia Cuatlatl, junior speech pathology major

“The College of Sciences and Humanities Success Hub has been a key point in my success, largely due to the environment and staff there. Dr. Melisa Stevens is someone that I can always count on, and hers is a face I always look forward to seeing, even in passing, whenever I can. The Hub has been incredibly helpful and a resource I use to get advice, just to talk, and to be around friendly people that I really trust and respect.”

—Jared Tanglertpaibul, sophomore English education major
