UConn in Cape Town 2015
UConn’s Education 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.
2015 Co-educators
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,
Marita McComiskey, PhD
