Study Abroad Highlight- Edem Yevoo

Hello CSS Community: My name is Edem Yevoo and I am a junior pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Science & Technology. This summer, I had the wonderful opportunity of studying abroad as part of the Quito Summer Environmental Studies program in Ecuador. The program, based in the capital of Ecuador, Quito, features field studies on issues facing environmental management and preservation in the Galapagos Islands, the Amazon region, and the Andean highlands. I was enrolled in three courses at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ). A few of the most memorable moments of my experience include climbing 16,000 feet up a volcano, spending a week in the Amazon rainforest, and spending three weeks exploring the Galapagos Islands. I would encourage all scholars to research study abroad programs and find one that best fits their preferences and academic schedule. Studying abroad was a truly enriching experience.
