HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT

"My internship, as well as overall experience, has allowed me to discover new strengths as well as interests within myself, which has empowered me to envision new paths for myself. This program has given me the power to realize my potential in international education! The staff in Yaoundé was especially helpful in curating this self-realization. They were available at all times and were friendly and loving to all students. The director of this program will forever be an inspiration and mentor to me because of her individualistic style of teaching and loving."
