“As a senior, I’m confident enough to say I am a global citizen, and I owe it all to the education that was provided to me within a diverse setting.”

“I found myself at Mount Holyoke. I learned self-reliance in a foreign country. I realized I have control over my life. I need to be responsible for it.”

In her pursuit of peace studies, Julia (Juli) Kellerbauer has thrown herself into nearly every global learning opportunity.

“As an international student from a small country, I am constantly learning so much more about different cultures through the people I interact with here.”

”Mount Holyoke is indeed the homiest home away from home.”

“Interacting with international students gives me a broader perspective of the world outside Pakistan, the world that does not exist on news channels.”

“Embrace the experience and be prepared to learn.”
