Testimonials
“As a Colombia Study Abroad Intern, I had the opportunity to learn about the recruitment
and advertising processes involved in developing an international study abroad program.
Through the trials and errors of preparing for this trip, I gained a deeper understanding
of the organizational, financial, and communication components that shape study abroad
initiatives. Additionally, I was able to witness firsthand the social justice, learning,
and motivation concerns present in Colombia, and even draw meaningful connections
to my own state, Oklahoma. Beyond these educational experiences, I also enjoyed the
cultural richness of Colombia through its music, food, scenery, and more. Traveling
to Colombia with OSU is an experience I will never forget!”

“What a blessing to have been a study abroad intern for OSU’s Colombia 2025 trip.
This experience was filled with cultural immersion, wonderful people, and opportunities
to explore the education system in the Caribbean region of Colombia. Some highlights
were visiting K–12 schools, connecting with university students from Universidad del
Norte, and participating in cultural activities such as Latin dance classes, museum
hopping, and visiting Cartagena and the Rosario Islands. Each day offered new perspectives
and meaningful conversations. I’m beyond grateful for this experience and will cherish
it forever. Thank you to the wonderful connections that were made on this trip. More
than places, it’s people who leave footprints on our hearts.”
