Online Marketing, Advertising, & PR Study Abroad

I am deeply thankful for the guidance and support from my mentor during my dementia care innovation project. Over the 12 weeks, I learned so much—from designing a survey to researching patients' & caretakers’ needs and creating user personas. Her expertise in technology and healthcare was crucial, encouraging me to think creatively and empathetically. She offered valuable feedback and motivation while inspiring me with their passion for making a positive impact. This experience has inspired me on using technology for social good.

The Campus Oxford gap semester program at St. Clare's was amazing! It was the perfect blend of high academic expectations while also being a place where I felt that I could socialize with my peers and explore Oxford, as well as other parts of the UK as well on school-sponsored trips. I also want to highlight the amazingly supportive Careers office, which helped me so much on my college applications! They are super well-informed and offer great advice. Part of the reason I had to decided to take a gap year was because I wasn't sure where I wanted to go to university, or what I wanted to study, and my careers counselor, Helen Forey, was a huge help in helping me answer both of those questions! When it came time to apply to schools, she had an extensive knowledge of the American university system and guided me through completing the common app and writing my supplements in a way that would paint the best picture of me for the schools I was applying to. The community was also really wonderful! I had a great roommate, and the housing complex that I lived in (Logan House) was full of really kind and interesting people. On any given evening there would be people hanging out in the common spaces who were always willing to open up their circle and welcome in a new friend. This was hugely important for me, especially in the early days when I was still finding my footing and feeling uncertain and homesick.
