Samantha's Summer Exchange

Dear family and close friends,

I have been accepted to take part in an exchange program for engineering students in Global Project Management. This program takes place at Queen’s Bader International Study Center in East Sussex, England for 6 weeks starting May 2016. I am so excited to take on this opportunity, as it will be my first time visiting Europe, and I am also grateful for how this program will positively impact my engineering degree. With this program, I will be able to complete three required electives in 6 weeks, including one on global engineering projects. Studying at Queen’s has already allowed me to accomplish so many goals (including ones I didn’t even know I had), and although I have absolutely no regrets with my decision to come here, it was also an expensive one. Other than my (large) student loan, I am essentially funding my whole education myself. 

I am now asking for help from anyone who is interested in supporting me and my education on this next adventure in my life. I would love to take on this life changing experience, and with any extra financial support I will be able to do so. Absolutely ANY contribution will make a huge difference in my eyes.
