Study Abroad Highlight- Edem Yevoo

Posted by Christopher Lester

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.

CSS Scholar & Team Leader,
Edem Yevoo

Scholar Testimonials

Malik Abu-Kalokoh
Class of 2017

The College Success Scholars program gave me the support I needed at the University Of Maryland. It has provided me with brothers who either have walked or are walking beside me on the path towards success. We constantly are there to support one another whenever we are in trouble or worried with a class or do not simply understand a concept. There have been times where I have felt down about something such as an exam or internship. It was my brothers who helped me back on my feet for each time I felt down and I can’t even express how much this means to me.
