IA provides two annual trips: one abroad and one national. This trip was a weekend excursion to Atlanta, GE with the promise of tours of the MLK House, the Georgia Tech Foreign Affairs graduate program, the Atlanta Aquarium, CNN Museum and the Olympic Park. I was not only enriched through interaction with the tours, graduate students at Georgia Tech, but I also developed connections with my fellow international affairs scholars and coordinators. During the trip I was able to see past the college environment and add context to the concepts I was learning through my colligate experience. In addition, it helped me remind me to appreciate life around me, especially the people.
