Brown-Smith Honors UK Study Abroad

Summary: This summer, I had the incredible opportunity of going on the inaugural Brown-Smith Honors UK Study Abroad sponsored by the Craig & Galen Brown Foundation. This month long program at the Imperial College of London and York St. Johns was designed to help incoming Brown Scholars form connections and grow as leaders before entering into their first year of college. During my time in the UK, I learned more about the traits of leaders and innovators, explored a variety of cultures vastly different than my own, and received valuable mentorship on having a successful collegiate career. However, the most valuable part of the experience for me was forming an awesome group of lifelong friends through our shared discovery of all that UK has to offer.
