HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT

"I learned about what an NGO truly is, how they work, the negative and positive obstacles or outcomes they produce, the refugee crisis in the Middle East, intercultural communication, and much much more that can only be learned through experience. It was most definitely worth-while."
