Testimonials from alumni

IN THEIR WORDS

“It absolutely changed my life. It was unbelievable living and being immersed in Israel. A lot of the value came after the program, with the relationships I made there carrying over into my life. Everything about the program has been game changing.”

Darren D. · ’18 alum

“I didn’t know anyone on the program and made lots of friends. It taught me so much about who I am as a person, especially after leaving university and not knowing what I wanted to do or where to go in life. It gave me direction, connections and experiences that have helped me become a better person.”

Daniel R. · ’19 alum

“My internship has been incredible! I’m working in an adipose tissue stem cell research lab at the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, Sackler Faculty of Medicine. The experience has opened a tremendous number of doors for me.”

Mike E. · ’21 alum
