Testimonial: Global Experiences created opportunities I may not have had without my Internship. They were able to match my interests and career goals with a wonderful and experienced employer. Without Global Experiences, I believe I would not have had this once in a lifetime opportunity, which helped me achieve my goal of interning abroad that I set for myself at the beginning of my college career. From start to finish Global Experiences made the entire process simple, organized, and fun.

Testimonial: I had wanted to study abroad during college but didn't have the time to get away so this ended up being the perfect way for me to get away while also gaining some extra work experience while abroad.
I came from such a comfortable bubble and to be pushed out of my comfort zone was a very enriching and unique experience that I found to be extremely worthwhile.
