Student Experiences

Short Term Programs

Kathlin Ai Chang, SIT Jordan: Counseling & Humanitarian Action Internship Summer 2024

The experience is unparalleled by any job I have done in the past. It was beautiful,
heart-wrenching, and exhausting, but worth every fiber of my being. The opportunity to connect
with people, make a difference, and push my limits filled me with a sense of purpose and
fulfillment that I had never experienced before. It was challenging, but the personal and
professional growth I gained from it was immeasurable. I will always cherish the memories and
the lessons learned from this experience. As Ibn Battuta writes “traveling - it gives you home in
thousand strange places, then leaves you a stranger in your own land.”
