 | Taylor Kozak Area of Study: Political Science, International Studies Where I Studied Abroad: Valencia, Spain About Taylor: I am a third year student with a double major in Political Science and International Studies and a double minor in Spanish and Legal Studies. I studied abroad in the summer of 2022 with ISA in Valencia, Spain. While abroad, I worked as an intern at a local non-profit, and wrote volunteer contracts, drafted legal documents, and worked on the web page. I improved my Spanish immensely and learned a ton about Spanish culture. I had the opportunity to live in an apartment with three other ISA students and created a great professional and social network. I loved being able to go abroad for the summer and build my resume while still being able to have time to have fun and explore! |
 | Isabelle Lemma Area of Study: Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering Where I Studied Abroad: Seoul, South Korea About Isabelle: I am a third-year student doing a double major in Biomedical and Chemical Engineering. I studied abroad at Yonsei University with USAC in Spring 2022 for the full semester. Being able to go to Seoul to have this experience was life changing and showed me a completely different way of life than I was used to. The landscapes and food especially are varied and left lasting impressions on me. Even just the structure and content of classes at Yonsei was very interesting. I absolutely loved South Korea, and ever since I've been itching to go traveling around the world! |

 | Stephany Ayala Torres Area of Study: Architecture & Design Where I Studied Abroad: Florence, Italy About Stephany: I am a 3rd year student studying Interior Architecture and Design and getting a certificate in Design Thinking. During the Spring semester of 2022, I had the opportunity of studying abroad with SAI at Florence University of the Arts in Florence, Italy. My time abroad has been one of the best experiences! I have learned more about myself and met some friends that made my experience abroad fun and amazing.

I have learned so much from them and I am hoping to apply this towards my classes at CSU. |
