The quest for a summer internship turned into a life-changing experience!

During my undergraduate degree at Santa Barbara, I came across the Caux Scholars Program just before my senior year. As a Caux Scholar, I became exposed to international relations from a different and nontraditional perspective. When I returned to Caux the next year as a CSP intern, I became exposed to IofC and discovered a different sense of who I am. I changed intellectually and emotionally within the matter of two summers. The impact of Caux did not change my life’s “grand plan.” What it did was more significant. It made the grand plan more worthwhile and meaningful by framing the underlying values of who I am and by linking values with the grand plan more directly.
