Natalye planned to participate in the summer 2020 Spanish Language and Culture in Cusco, Peru program.
I've always wanted to visit South America; the Mesoamerican and Andean history fascinates me. I grew up understanding Spanish as I was born to Mexican parents, but I seek to recognize the complexities of Latinx culture. I intend to learn about different experiences on the continent of America in order to grasp a better understanding of the experience of immigrants and the Latinx community in the U.S.

Degan planned to participate in the 2020-2021 academic year Korea University Exchange Program in Seoul, South Korea.
I will be participating in the Korean University Study Abroad, in South Korea for an academic year. I was inspired to apply to this program because my minor is Korean, and I wanted to spend some time in the country that I was studying. This will be my first time living alone, and I hope that it will be an impactful time away from home. One of my passions has always been learning languages so I am excited for this opportunity.
**Degan also received the Freeman-Asia Scholarship for her Korea University Exchange study abroad program.**

Alannah Johnson will be participating in The Gambia Study Abroad Internship Program. She was encouraged to apply for this study abroad program by her mother who did not get the chance to experience study abroad when she was younger. Alannah loves wild life and the large variety of species of animals all over the world. She hopes to work in the veterinary field after college. Allanah says, "It all started with watching Animal Planet as a child. I wanted to help animals and give them a chance that they may not have had without some help. I hope to one day work all over the world to give animals the second chance that they deserve, and I believe going on this program will give me a taste of what I can really do for the world and the animals that roam it."
