I am a rarity: a pre-optometry student in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (many people in the United States are unaware that Michigan is separated into two peninsulas). Not many students dual major in Physiology and Spanish. Even though I study in one of the least diverse populations of the US, I want to study in Salamanca, Spain! Help me bring cultural awareness to the Upper Peninsula! If I can go to Spain, I will create an event where I present my experiences to the NMU campus, and encourage others to go! read more

Salamanca Trip

Hi Everyone! I am fundraising for my trip to Salamanca. While I'm there, I will be able to earn 8 Spanish Language credits at the University of Salamanca!!! Super exciting because this means I will be able to DUAL major in Physiology and Spanish. If I didn't take this trip, I definitely would not have the time in my remaining two semesters to take these classes and dual major. While I'm there I will take total advantage of soaking up the local culture. I will be living with a host family and will be able to travel by train throughout Spain. While it is only a month, I will have weekends open to see other cities in Spain. I'm also kind of curious how their health care system works over there. Considering we are undergoing a pretty big change to how our system works, I look forward to investigating how Spains' functions compared to ours. I might never be able to go to Spain again! So excited about this trip!
