1st Place
Kristen Kay Jordan
Studied on a BBA exchange at
Thammasat University, Bangkok, Thailand fall 2005
Burma Women Fleeing War
Burmese Awaiting Their Refugee Loved
Ones For Rice Supplies
“Backpacking through Northern Thailand was an eye-opening adventure
to never forget. Survival living with the largest remaining tribe in
the world, Karen, and bamboo rafting and trekking through remote
mountainsides visiting other tribal villages are the greatest feats
I have yet to encounter. Gaining a greater understanding of the
Asian culture won my respect by locals through their values,
religious customs, and learning the tonal Thai language. Sawatdii,
kha!”
2nd Place
Jessica Pan
Studied on a BBA exchange at University of New South Wales in
Sydney, Australia, fall 2005
Into the West
This is how Frodo really left Middle Earth...
“Studying in Sydney for a semester has really been wonderful. It has
exposed me to an entirely new and distinct culture, including a
sub-culture of international college students who come together from
different parts of the world to grow, learn, and share their
experiences. I've formed a great group of friends that I'll be
meeting up when I'm in Paris and nothing could be better!! In
addition, studying in this part of the world has afforded me the
opportunity to travel around and see some of the most amazing
places. Queenstown, New Zealand was definitely one of them. Peter
Jackson couldn't have picked a better place to be Middle Earth.”
3rd place
Sophie Nemes
Studied on a BBA exchange at ITESM in Monterrey, Mexico fall
2005
Las Piramides
Blue skies reign over these sacred grounds
“Mexico was unreal. Every experience was so unbelievable because
such events are unheard of in the states. I was pleasantly surprised
by the kindness and patience shown to me by the Mexican people.”
