Experiment leadership institute participant

I learned so much as a result of this program. I was able to immerse myself in a culture that was so different from my own. I would recommend this program to anyone who is openminded and willing to challenge their current understandings of global issues. This program was physically and emotionally strenuous but a worthwhile experience, nonetheless
