Hi everyone! I am a junior majoring in International Business and minoring in Italian
and Business Law. I participated in the TU Italian Language and Culture in Venice,
Italy faculty-led program in Minimester 2023 and the TU Global Internship Program
in Rome, Italy in Summer 2024. Studying and interning abroad helped me improve my
Italian language speaking skills, build lasting friendships, and gain practical experience
in my field. I encourage everyone to take the opportunity to study abroad or away!

international affairs. In Summer 2023, I participated in the TU French Language and Culture program which helped me improve
my French language skills and broadened my perspective on the world. My study abroad

Hello! I am Rose Braddock, a junior International Business major with an Italian Minor.
I participated in the TU in Italy - Florence program to for the Spring 2024 semester.

One of my favorite parts about studying abroad was taking a cooking class for the
first time!
Hi, my name is Kaci and I am a Sophomore majoring in Elementary Education and Special
Education. I participated in TU's first ever Tigers Abroad program in Brazil before
the 2023-2024 school year. My study abroad experience was truly one of a kind for
me. I love learning new things and traveling so studying abroad was the ideal situation
for me. And the food was amazing!
Hello, I'm Camden, I'm a senior majoring in Political Science, with a minor in International
Studies. I particularly like to study comparative politics and international relations.
In the 2024 January Minimester I studied Japanese at J.F. Oberlin University in Tokyo.
While there I was able to talk with native Japanese speakers to test my language skills,
which really helped me improved my speaking and listening skills. My study abroad
allowed me to meet new people from all around the world and immersed me in a culture
I love learning about.
