“Looking back on my 5 weeks in South Carolina, words cannot convey how much I learned and how much I experienced. The SUSI program was, without doubt, extraordinary. From engaging debates and discussions in class with a vast array of speakers to the many trips, outings and volunteer experiences that I undertook, I got to see America and its people from a unique and interesting perspective.

I cannot recommend the program enough. It confirmed to me that helping others and engaging in my community are key values that I want to ensure are part of my career in the future. I cannot thank Fulbright, the U.S. Embassy, the University of South Carolina and FHI360 enough.”
