“Because of these opportunities at Hartwick, I can go back to my home country and help out the people there and contribute what I can to the society.”

“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.”

“A Hartwick education is different because it enables you to find yourself. You’re not pressured to be anyone else. You are challenged to find the best version of yourself and pursue it and believe in it. Hartwick helped me to find that confidence, to feel valued, to feel strong in who I am as a person. I wouldn’t be who I am today if I hadn’t gone to Hartwick.”
