What does it mean to go beyond borders? 🌍
During her lecture, “Beyond Borders: How Global Experiences Shape Student Stories,” Nicoletta Peluffo, Ph.D., new director of Kent State Florence shared how studying abroad can transform more than a student's academic experience. From building confidence and curiosity to developing humility, embracing new perspectives and forming lifelong connections, global experiences shape who we become and how we see the world.
Hosted by the College of Honors and Global Education on Wed., Oct. 28, the discussion highlighted the lasting impact of experiencing life beyond familiar borders — and the stories that stay with us long after we return home. 💙💛
