"Traveling to Dublin, Ireland and London, England was an absolutely amazing experience I will never forget. I never thought I'd see New Years Eve fireworks in London while taking a psychology class. It is definitely possible to have fun and learn on a CCSA trip!"
Charity Eckman, Psychology/OT Major, Class of 2007/2008
"My experience in Australia was amazing because I earned credits from an ultimate classroom setting of scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef, traipsing through the Cairnes rainforests, and hanging out at Sydney Bay. Also, I met and formed lasting friendships with a terrific group of students from across the US."
Jill Krempecki, Physician Assistant/Spanish Major, Class of 2007
