Who:
Jackson Jinks, international business senior
How:
Through a semester study abroad course
Why:
“I wanted to get a good understanding of how a different part of the world thinks and operates. I’ve lived in my culture for 20 years and thought that needed to change.”
Lessons he took back home:
“Despite cultural and language differences, most everyone wants the same things in life. That said, being able to understand and see your own country from the viewpoint of a foreigner can make a difference in how you view yourself and your country.”
