Andrew Patterson, a geography major, never thought he would be able to study abroad.
“When I was a sophomore,” Patterson said, “I switched majors from environmental systems engineering to geography, and so I really didn’t think I would have the ability to study abroad and also graduate in four years.”
In the fall of 2016, Patterson received an email from his adviser, Jodi Vender, containing information about a summer study abroad program in Tanzania.
“After looking at my schedule, it was the perfect fit for me,” Patterson said.
