Zachary's Study Abroad in Switzerland through Global Engineering Access Scholarship

For Zachary, studying abroad in Switzerland was more than just a semester away from campus; it was a transformative experience that shaped both his academic and personal growth. While studying in Switzerland, Zachary was immersed in a new culture, surrounded by the landscapes of the Swiss Alps, and exposed to new perspectives that broadened his understanding of the world. The experience challenged him to grow more independent, adapt to unfamiliar environments, and engage with people from different cultural and academic backgrounds

“Studying abroad in Switzerland was one of the most transformative experiences of my academic journey. Spending a semester immersed in a new culture, new people, and surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Swiss Alps pushed me to grow both personally and academically.”

During his time abroad, Zachary also had the opportunity to travel throughout Europe and Northern Africa, experiences that helped him better understand global history, culture, and interconnectedness beyond what can be learned in a classroom.

The opportunity to study abroad was made possible through the Global Engineering Access Scholarship, which helped reduce the financial burden and allowed him to fully take advantage of opportunities outside the classroom.

“The Global Engineering Access Scholarship made this journey possible. Its support eased the financial burden of studying abroad, allowing me to take advantage of opportunities beyond the classroom… I am incredibly grateful for the Global Engineering Access Scholarship for enabling me to become a more global citizen.”

Zachary’s experience abroad not only expanded his academic perspective but also helped shape his global outlook which is something he will carry with him throughout his career and future experiences.
