"I am a student from your Global 124 class fall quarter [2005]. I am currently on the east coast interning at the Pentagon, [and] I love it. I work for the Dept. of Defense for the Office of Secretary of Defense, Public Affairs. I must admit, there is a slight conflict of interest. I see Mr. Rumsfeld about once a week. The Secretary is actually quite short. Through the Norm Mineta Immersion Internship Program, all expenses are paid for. ...I am taking one class with Professor Colman McCarthy, Peace Solutions. Thus far, I am enjoying my experience and getting used to the cold weather."
-Samnang (Sami) Ith


Letters from Abroad
"All the words in the world could not describe in full the insight and personal experience I gained from living, speaking, becoming a part of a foreign culture. Not only did it open my mind to a more global perspective, it also gave me a deeper understanding of the different kinds of people and cultures that exist outside of the United States."
- Paul Stilley



Quotes from Abroad
"Studying abroad, in Toulouse, France, has given me the opportunity to learn about European culture by immersing myself in it. Exposing myself to different points of view is helping to expand my knowledge of international affairs. I highly recommend it to everyone in the Global Studies Major."
- Jennifer Benz
