Meet the Class

It has been a long journey to get to this study abroad program in Brazil! Planning began long before COVID-19 shut down the world. We started the spring 2022 semester in January planning for the trip, only to have it canceled in February due to a rise of COVID cases in Brazil. We held on to our cautious optimism, hoping we could reschedule the program. This group of students has shown grace, patience, and optimism through it all, and we were all thrilled to find out we will be traveling to Brazil in May! It’s two months late, but we are all so excited to be traveling to Brazil this semester!
