On this #FeatureFriday, we’d like to provide a virtual escape to remind you that the world is a beautiful placelet us introduce Kayla Mace, a Medical Anthropology graduate student who participated in a Winter 2020 CIEE: Council on International Educational Exchange program in Peru! This course was never just about what we learned in the classroom. It was about meeting your host family, your new brothers and sisters, meeting classmates and meeting people in the local r...estaurant, or figuring out the bus system or how to do laundry. I have been to Peru before this trip and have many future plans; I even arrived in Cusco before the other students...and that is why I can say without a doubt: Cusco will not be the same without them joining. Contact our office ([email protected]; 716-645-3912) to learn more about study abroad opportunities. #UBabroad #UBuffalo See more
