Welcome to our blog

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG

As anyone who has participated in UConn's Study Abroad in Cape Town Program can attest, there are no words to adequately explain the depth of the experiences, no illustrations to sufficiently describe the hospitality of the people, and no pictures to begin to capture the exquisiteness of the scenery. Therefore this blog is merely intended to provide an unfolding story of the twenty-six 2014 co-educators who are traveling together as companions on this amazing journey.

As Resident Director and Faculty Advisor of this program since 2008 it is once again my privilege and honor to accompany yet another group of exceptional students to this place I have come to know and love.

In peace, with hope,
Marita McComiskey, PhD

Internship Placements

After spending two very full weeks of orientation getting to know Cape Town, as well as one another, on Wednesday 26 UConn study abroad co-educators made their way to various locations throughout the city to begin the very first day at their internships placements.

How were they feeling as they set off on this new adventure?
Curious? Eager? Happy? Excited? Nervous? Concerned? Open? Overwhelmed? Compassionate? Inquisitive? Thankful? Competent?  Fascinated? Confident? Optimistic? Scared?  Empathetic?
  • Some of the above?  
  • All of the above?  
  • None of the above?
To learn the answers to that and many other questions you'll just have to keep reading this class blog as these UConn student-interns write the uniquely unfolding stories of what this Cape Town experience has to offer each of them. 

Below is the list of where each student is doing her or his internship.
