By Sandy beaches, barbecues and outdoor concerts aren’t the only signs of a great summer. Cooking mouthwatering pasta dishes in Italy, interviewing the next big NBA stars coming out of Africa or learning how to salsa dance in Cuba were just a few of the fun feats Terps enjoyed over the last few months.
More than 300 University of Maryland students studied or volunteered abroad this summer, according to Education Abroad, trading the muggy mid-Atlantic for a jaunt across the globe. They got hands-on research experiences, immersed themselves in local culture and made memories to last a lifetime through a variety of short-term UMD or partner programs.
