Hello, we are a group of students from Coe College working together on a project with Wandering Educators. Our goal is to share multiple study abroad experiences while focusing on a specific aspect of each person’s abroad experience. The following articles focus on these topics that you may find interesting and important before you travel and study abroad, as well as give you a reason to give it a shot.
Victoria Amandia Nze, a senior at Coe College who is majoring in international business and public relations, had some unexpected experiences when she went to study abroad in Northern France during fall of 2024.
You might think that learning is confined to textbooks and lectures, but cultural immersion offers a richer, more nuanced experience. By stepping into different communities and cultures, you confront your own biases and expand your worldview in ways that traditional education simply can't match. This engagement not only enhances empathy but also cultivates essential communication skills necessary for today's interconnected society.
During my undergraduate studies in Ecosystem Science and Sustainability at Colorado State University, I was presented with a transformative opportunity to participate in a study abroad program titled "Communities and Conservation" in South Africa.
Imagine uprooting yourself from everything that is important to you. Taking yourself thousands of miles away from home and dropping yourself in a place that you feel is better for your future than where you were before.

That is the reality of the American Dream, and it is a topic that gets glorified across the world.
The healthcare sector is crucial to the health of our society and is resolute and unfazed by global dynamics. It continuously expands, responding to our ever-evolving health needs. At the heart of this perpetually growing sector is a critical role: healthcare administration. This role goes beyond the confines of a job title. It's a way of impacting lives, making a difference on a grand scale. It calls for people who can skillfully navigate the intricacies of healthcare services, people with the vision to lead, and the empathy to ensure optimal patient care.
One of the best things about reading memoir is the opportunity to discover and learn from life stories. How would we act in a similar situation? What can we take away when learning from these lives?
Such is the case with an extraordinary new memoir by author Jill Kandel (whom our wandering educators will remember from our interview with her about her book So Many Africas: Six Years in a Zambian Village).
