Students and faculty traveled to Ethiopia over spring break for a blend of cultural and academic experiences in the East African nation. There, they visited historic locations and met with high-level officials at the U.S. Embassy, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, Oxfam, and the African Union.
For the nine students who made the 21-day trip in January 2017, the scarcity and simplicity of life in Cuba – from the 1950s cars to the empty supermarket shelves to the limited Internet service - challenged every convention of their lives back home.
The study abroad trip combined two classes: Journeys through Latin America: Contemporary Cuba, taught by Murillo, and Health, Culture and Elder Care in Cuba, taught by Kirby Veevers, an adjunct professor of Health Professions who specializes in palliative care, aging and long-term care.

Cairo, Egypt
Winner, DU Students Abroad category
Taken by Brie Gilbreath
"A weekend trip to Cairo with some fellow Pioneers led to an incredible experience, which allowed us to see one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Giza Pyramids. We rode our camels to a small hill in the Sahara Desert that overlooked the pyramids, where we were able to see the amazing architecture of the Egyptians, which now makes up some of the world’s oldest standing structures."
The wallpaper of the King's Chamber is Chinese, handpainted in the 18th century. It has held up remarkably well, I'd say!

It was taken in Nepal when I went for a trek of Annapurna circuit. The local woman, at rural Manang district of Nepal in the photo, gave her real smiling face to my camera.

1st Place – Architecture and Landscapes
Before I started my study abroad term at the University of Newcastle, I had the chance to explore Tasmania. On this tour, I saw some amazing sites including the Wineglass Bay, Honeymoon Bay, and Carp Bay. I also met some incredible people from all over the world!
Wollongong, Australia

"My Australian dorm mates and I woke up just before sunrise on the first day of spring (September 1, 2009). It was a family tradition of my roommate’s to take a swim in the ocean at sunrise on the first day of spring, so we all joined him and took a dip at our Fairy Meadow beach in Wollongong at exactly sunrise. It was a cold, but unforgettable, experience."
