My name is Cassidy Jeffers.  I live on Chebeague Island in Maine, and I'm attending Endicott College in Beverly, MA.  I'm a business management major with a minor in political science. 

It has always been a dream of mine to travel the world and explore other countries.  I have the opportunity to participate in a study abroad program at Central Queensland University in Australia, that would give me the chance to live in a diverse community and gain a global perspective.  I work during the school year, work full-time during the summer, and my mother works multiple jobs to pay for my school tuition and living expenses.   Additional things like this program just aren't possible. 

I'm sending this message out to our friends, family, and community members with the hope that some of you might help contribute to this amazing opportunity.  Anything you can do to help would be appreciated!
