Transcript

Okay everyone, it’s time to show you a truly one of a kind feature of this great university. LIU Global is an international campus that sends students to a new location every semester, including Costa Rica, Europe, Australia, and more. Tiago is a senior majoring in global studies and he’s gonna tell you about the fantastic research he is conducting around the world. The floor is all yours, Tiago.

– Thanks Alex. Hi everyone. I was born and raised in Brazil and when I first heard of LIU Global, I felt it was meant to be. I get to travel to all around the world while making meaningful connections and earning a degree in global studies, and preparing for my future. LIU Global is a true definition of experiential learning. We study the theories in class and immediately follow that up with field experiences. Field experiences help us see larger phenomena in local community and how to act and respond to those accordingly, which is at the core of global studies. The classroom experience is different than any other, filled with thoughtful debate and exchange of ideas that have widened my view of the world. My curiosity for different cultures is also embraced by my professors and classmates, which has helped to provide me with an enriching academic experience. Through these conversations, I was able to harness my curiosity and discover my passion. LIU Global brings to life education in ways that no other program does. Even better, I get to travel to some of the most amazing places with like-minded classmates. I never thought I’d learn about Morocco in Morocco. The world is truly our classroom. At first, I thought I wanted to be a financial advisor for NATO, but after four years of living and learning around the world, I discovered my passion for education and decided to pursue a career in academia, maybe even get my PhD. Thanks for taking a trip around the world with me. Take it back Alex.

– Outstanding. Tiago, you are having the college experience of a lifetime and seeing so many interesting cultures. I am jealous. We can’t wait to see where your next adventure takes you once you graduate. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Take care, Tiago.
