Students Contextualizing Content
“In looking back and examining my life from across the world, I’m gaining
clarity that I was unable to find in Victoria. I can literally feel myself growing.
Sometimes I observe it in detached amusement and other times I revel in it.”
- Anna Cooke, 2016 Exchange Student (Barcelona, Spain)
