2015-2016 Short-term, Faculty-led Education Abroad Programs
“
I traveled to a country where the culture was completely different. The photo represents how I viewed the culture of Mongolia—a child stands peacefully still while surrounded by a flock of pigeons. It was not the child’s instinct to chase the pigeons, but be one with the pigeons and feed them. I realized life is more worthwhile if you calmly look around you and take in your surroundings. —Cameron Bachelor
