UConn in Cape Town 2014

The University of Connecticut’s Study Abroad in Cape Town is designed to facilitate greater understanding of South Africa’s troubled past while providing opportunities to witness its vibrant hope for the future. While living, learning and working in one of most beautiful settings in the world, students: participate in three-day a week internships; take courses to help contextualize their experiences; expand their horizons; and develop a deeper appreciation of what it means to be a global citizen

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
