About Me
I am a freshman at IUPUI with a major in Biology and minors in Africana and Latino Studies I plan on becoming a traveling Pediatric Dentists to assist in countries who have limited access to Dental care. Going to Ghana will allow me the opportunity to connect with the people within the country on a personal level and get a first hand experience of the healthcare and culture of the country.This will not only be an amazing educational experience that will allow me to grow as a person, but I will be more connected in a sence of where my heritage stems from and the larger community that I am part of . Thank you so much for being willing to support my dreams and goals.
More Info
The Diversity Enrichment Achievement Program (DEAP), in collaboration with the Multicultural Center, is pleased to present this study abroad initiative that provides an immersive learning experience in Ghana for students from historically underrepresented backgrounds.
Participants get a unique opportunity to enhance their understanding of other cultures, the world around them, and themselves. For most of our students, this is their first time to travel abroad—and for some, it’s their first time to travel at all. You can help make student aspirations of studying abroad a reality by donating to the program. Study abroad experiences have a direct impact on student learning, retention, and success—especially among populations that have been historically underrepresented.
“The program really forced you to sit, think, and look deep within yourself.” -Past participant
