"New Zealand is known for its diversity in geologic landscapes, including volcanoes, heavily deformed strata, massive faults, magnetic sand beaches, glaciers and geothermal features, to name a few. There truly isn't a better place to study geology in a field setting." -Caleigh Claar '25 Geology in New Zealand, led by professors Tim Cope and Kenneth Brown.

"In places like Medina and Marrakesh, we saw examples of types of markets we'd discussed in economics. No set prices and so many goods. There's an information asymmetry, but it's still very professional." -Nate Sekata '25 Morocco: A Cultural Odyssey led by professors Eugene Gloria and Jeffrey Kenney.

"In one experience, students volunteered at the agroecological farm El Paraiso, gaining firsthand insight into the Cuban community's dedication to planting and harvesting.
