Off-campus study

Sean Keenan Studying abroad with the ACM Tanzania program gave me the opportunity to step away from book study and experience some of the things I had been learning about. Visiting the Serengeti, Olduvai Gorge, and Lake Eyasi gave me a whole new perspective on what the world has to offer. Whether I was learning about different ethnic groups, hiking in biodiversity hotspots, or watching the sun set on the wild landscape, Tanzania lent itself to my imagination. My experience has given me insight into potential career paths, a topic for my senior thesis, and helped me to recognize some of the things I’m passionate about. Tanzania is an incredible place, and I hope to return there someday soon!

—Sean Keenan, Tanzania, Fall 2009
