Hello everyone,

My name is Katie McGarvey and I am a first-year architecture student at Syracuse University with an amazing opportunity ahead - I've been accepted into a study abroad program in Osaka, Japan this coming May 2025!

This isn't just a chance to travel - while in Japan, I'll get to attend the World Expo 2025 - a once-in-a-lifetime experience that showcases groundbreaking architectural designs, ideas, and global collaboration.

This trip is a huge step forward in both my education and career, but it also comes with financial challenges. I'm raising funds to help cover travel expenses, program fees, and other essentials while abroad.

Any amount - big or small - will help me get closer to this amazing opportunity that I am so grateful for! Even sharing this campaign means so much to me!

Thank you so much for supporting my journey! I can't wait to soak up all I can in Osaka and bring that knowledge back into my designs and future work.

With gratitude,

Katie McGarvey
