•    ACADEMICS - “What I used to take for granted about Colgate.”  “Putting the ‘study’ back in Study Abroad.” “How I helped discover a cure for cancer at the NIH.”
•    TRAVEL - “What I found when I got lost.” “How to know which strangers to trust.” “How to make a new place feel like home.” “Europe on a shoestring budget.”
•    IDENTITY - “Who I was and who I am now.”  “Letter to myself pre-departure.” “What I learned about America while abroad.”
