UA in India
The most prominent aspect of India is the people. Spending three weeks traveling to four different cities in northern India gave me a broad range of people to experience. They say that every 100 miles the language, dress, and people changes in India, and they are absolutely right. It is obvious that there are thousands of layers of cultures intertwining in India and it is beautiful the way it plays out in modern society. I’m...
Home from India
Returning back home after three weeks abroad was like a breath of fresh air. I was ready to be back in my own bed, not rooming with anyone else, to have different food options besides Indian food, and to wash clothes in a washing machine instead of in the sink. Studying in India was the best decision I ever made, I got to meet people I never thought I would meet and see beautiful places, however, there are a few things I would do...
In Retrospect
While I enjoyed my experience in India, I’m certainly glad to be back in the United States, where people actually mean it when they set prices and where drivers actually use lanes!

Post Trip Reflection STEM in India

Blown away by the differences, I am so glad I had the chance to immerse myself in this experience. After my previous post, we finished...

We have spent the past two weeks in Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra, visiting a myriad of cultural and historical sights like the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort. This has allowed us to understand how this culture has developed and why things are the way they are. Exploring the different locations and attractions, it is easy to see the cultural melting pot that is India....
The Final Countdown
We are entering our final week here in Italy and wow what a whirlwind it has been. The European Innovation Academy has exceeded all my expectations and provided me with an unforgettable life changing experience. We started on July 8th with a product expo and team formation. I immediately found my team member Maria and her idea called Health Minute, a platform to break the barrier between patient doctor communication. Her...
