Student Stories

Recipient of the Jane Fines Fund for Global Experiences

Name: Julia DiAngelo

Major: Aerospace Engineering

"I am extremely grateful to have been a recipient of the Jane Fines Fund for Global Experiences. This scholarship has helped relieve the financial burden of studying abroad and given me the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience another way of life.

Recipient of the Sharon L. Marlin Scholarship

Name: Chris Colasanti

Major: Civil Engineering

"In every step of the study abroad process I have always mentioned how excited I am to view historical areas in Madrid and the surrounding cities. Despite being an engineer, learning about the history of other cultures and viewing historical architecture has always been a hobby of mine. This scholarship has allowed me to study abroad and take my hobby from books and pictures to a firsthand experience. This past week I was able to take a day trip to Toledo which is a historical city that has an art and architectural influence from a variety of cultures. Toledo housed some of the most beautiful buildings and landscapes that I have ever seen."
