沃尔特•罗兰 was one of these students. A senior majoring in corporate communication, Roland enjoyed touring the historic sights while in Athens and the beauty of 圣托里尼岛.

“My favorite part about the trip was the exposure to a different culture. The Greeks not only welcome tourists to their country but treat them like family. The sincerity and genuine nature of these compassionate people is unmatched,” Roland said. 

七名学生参加了这次旅行,作为跨文化交际课程(CAS 471)的一部分。. 他们通过与希腊学生的合作学习机会参与文化多样性. PSU-LV的学生与来自雅典经济与商业大学的学生一起进行了一个视频制作项目,加深了他们对美国和希腊文化的了解. 这些学生将通过完成一个数字故事的多媒体合作项目来结束他们的学期.

“Traveling abroad makes us more tolerant and understanding of other cultures. 它还帮助我们摆脱任何自我中心主义,我们可能怀有,因为我们学会欣赏其他文化,并知道我们的方式不是唯一的方式,安娜·奥尔特加-兰伯特说, a senior majoring in art administration. “在我们的旅途中, we got to talk with students from Athens University, 我很惊讶地发现,尽管我们相隔如此之远,我们却能玩得很开心,并找到这么多的共同点.”

波多黎各: Observing sustainability challenges firsthand

“我真的很喜欢历史遗迹, 所以了解圣费利佩德尔莫罗城堡的历史对我来说绝对是一个亮点. I also really enjoy swimming and aquariums, 所以浮潜对我来说是一举两得,因为我在水里可以看到很多种鱼,哈沙尔·帕特尔说, a senior majoring in information sciences and technology. “访问波多黎各大学也让我对波多黎各人民在飓风玛丽亚期间和之后的反应有了不同的看法. While talking to some of the students, 我了解到,许多人没有意识到飓风造成的灾难,因为他们没有权力在电视上查看新闻. 岛外的每个人都更关心和担心岛上的人,而不是彼此.”

“柏林 has a tremendous number of museums and places of interest. We visited museums about art, history, communication, anatomy and more. We went to an opera called "The Magic Flute" and saw a grand show called "Vivid." I learned so much about street art and graffiti from a guided tour of the city. We even got a tutorial and chance to create our own spray-paint art,Vinay Singh说, a first-year Schreyer Scholar majoring in biology.

“My favorite part of the trip was visiting the Holocaust Memorial. There are thousands of concrete slabs that you can walk through. 有些超过15英尺. It was a deep reminder of how far humanity has come with tolerance and acceptance.”
