Grinberg is one of two ߲ݴý University students who will study in Latvia later this year. They are among more than 65 ߲ݴý students who will study abroad for a semester or more this year.
This summer, Global Service Learning worked alongside ConstruCASA, an organization that builds homes for Guatemalan families who fall well beneath the poverty line.
In her three years as a ߲ݴý University student Jessica Danson has studied abroad in Mexico, Germany and Estonia. Add to that her service trips to Nicaragua, Malawi, and Guatemala, and a conference in Canada, and you have to assume she’s headed for a career in international affairs.
Janae Riha knows she is living a dream by attending college. The ߲ݴý junior and her “dream team” are anxious to share their dreams with students at a nearby elementary school.
That’s just one project in the works for the residents of ߲ݴý’s new theme house — the Dream House.
When students return to ߲ݴý University on August 23, campus for the most part will look much like it did when they left in May. But summer was anything but quiet.
New theme houses were spruced up, a new outdoor track was built, new administrators got up to speed on their new responsibilities, and professors plotted out new ways to teach their courses.
