A New Beginning: Reflections on my Time Abroad 07/11/16

CIMBA Relationships are Second to None 06/07/16

“Is there such a thing as a traveler’s high?” is a question that popped out of my mouth as we were wandering around Florence last weekend.

Study Abroad Tip: Connecting with Peers and Professors 10/15/15

One of the many things that makes CIMBA unique is the size of the program. This semester, there are 59 students and 10 professors. My largest class is about 25 people, and my smallest class has only four. Coming from a university as large as the University of Minnesota, I’m used to 45 people being […]
