Local Expertise: Staff POV

From our on-site team in Prague

Our overseas staff are the heart of every CET program, bringing local expertise and support to our students abroad.

Simona, Dominika, and Caitlin, three of our staff members based in Prague, share why you should study abroad in the heart of Europe. Meet the rest of our incredible overseas team.

"To create an immersive experience, my cohort of fourteen people visited five different Afro-Colombian communities across the country. During our travels, we engaged in workshops as well as experiential learning sessions surrounding non-traditional medicine, the role of Black women, Law 70, and more. One of the most incredible moments during the program was swimming in the local river at San Cipriano, a main source of economic well-being for locals."
— Nevaeh Angarita, Davidson College CET Colombia
"Cartagena is one of Colombia’s biggest cities and one that is a tourist destination for many African Americans. We stayed in the city for three days as part of our program-funded week-long Traveling Seminar. The city is undeniably vibrant, fun, and international. Its beaches are to die for and the city also holds many gems."
— Jordan Simmons, Washington University in St. Louis CET Colombia
