2015 Co-educators

2015 Co-educators
2015 UConn Co-educators Begin Their Cape Town Adventures

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG

As anyone who has participated in UConn's Education Abroad in Cape Town will tell you, 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 exquisite scenery. Therefore this blog is only intended to provide an unfolding story of the those co-educators who are traveling together as companions on this amazing journey.

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

In peace, with hope,

Emily E wonders how time went by so quickly

I honestly wondered how the time went by. When I was complying photos of orientation human rights, weekend, and the Homestay in Oceanview for the symposium, it still felt so fresh. I’m not good at saying goodbye; at this point, I’m pretty sure I’ll be back to South Africa a few times more in my lifetime. Lately I’ve been taking advantage of the small things--I’ve been looking at the sunset from our house; watching as the clouds weave through the mountains. When I come home, I’ll be 8 days away from graduation, a day I thought would never come. I’m afraid and excited to come home. However, I know how different things will be and notice how different I’ve become to my surroundings.
