Tell us about your International Experience trip. Where did you go? What was your favorite part?
I participated in Global Network Week, where I visited INCAE Business School in Costa Rica. After the program, I stayed an additional week to travel across the country with a group tour. My favorite experience was having a rare, up-close encounter with a three-toed sloth, a species that is notoriously difficult to spot in the wild.
