"Studying abroad in New Zealand was a truly impactful trip for myself and my classmates. "We were able to travel all over the beautiful country and learn about its native history. While I was there, I was able to step inside a second grade classroom and learn all about their education system. It was incredible to learn a different way of teaching and use that to make my teaching practices better." —Hailey Miliziano '25
