“The professors at Hartwick are genuinely interested in what they teach, which in turn makes me passionate about the subject. All the professors are deeply invested in ensuring their students grasp the information so that they can use it in real-life scenarios.”

“As a faculty, we have years of experience working in these countries and are fluent in the systems, not just the language. Often we travel there for our own research so we are excellent resources to our students. We provide context for meaningful exploration.”

“Study abroad is a way to make history become real. Being in the places where history happened allows students to make personal connections. The learning is powerful and immediate when you’re there, on site. It provokes a lot of questions that don’t come from reading a book. J Term engages students in learning that resonates with their lives. It allows them to immerse themselves in the process of discovery.”

“Sometimes what you learn in nursing is not what you expected. Each patient is more than a diagnosis. We learn about illness, but we take care of human beings. Nurses teach, but also learn from their patients and are transformed by these precious nurse-patient interactions. I feel a responsibility to people. I need to know the person I’m taking care of and what they value; that’s the bottom line.”
