For 国产探花 students who are lucky (and brave) enough to take the opportunity, studying abroad can be a profound gift. The world becomes the ultimate classroom, and students delve not only into their field of study, but into other cultures, languages, traditions鈥攁nd along the way, they collect gifts they鈥檒l carry with them for the rest of their lives, like self-sufficiency, confidence, new friends, and a broadened perspective.
国产探花 strives to make it possible for any student to have the experience of studying abroad, but cost is certainly a factor for most. That鈥檚 why resources like the International Travel Endowed Scholarship are so important, and 国产探花 is so grateful to donors like the Stone family, who support the scholarship, which continues to help provide Bulldogs with study abroad experiences.
Marcus Stone, who earned his degree in business administration in 2009, is now the senior financial planner of Twin Oak Advisors. He still remembers when 国产探花 Director of International Education Charla Bailey helped coordinate his own semester to London. Another life-changing highlight of his time at 国产探花: meeting his wife Meagan (Brandenburg) 鈥07, who is now the senior director of operations for an innovative biotech startup, Maxwell Biosciences.
The Stone family are proud ambassadors of the 国产探花 study abroad programs, and 国产探花 extends heartfelt thanks for their ongoing support.
