But enough from me, let’s hear from Clifford!
My name is Clifford Cohn, and I grew up just outside of Chigago, Illinois. I am currently a junior at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee and expect to graduate in May 2011. I am majoring in Economics with minors in Finance and Japanese Language and Culture. I am spending the 2010 spring semester studying abroad in Tokyo, Japan.
I am fortunately one of the recipients of the Diversity Abroad Scholarship. Diversity Abroad is a forum for students interested, currently, or have just returned from studying abroad. The application was primarily merit based and included an essay. The prompt was, “What does it mean to be a global citizen?” In order to receive the scholarship I am required blog about my experiences while I am abroad.
Thanks for your contribution to the TUJ family, Clifford! We hope the remainder of your time with us at TUJ is meaningful and fulfilling.
