A Retrospective with CIL graduate, Emily Quinn
Twice a year, I have the opportunity to review capstone projects written by students enrolled in the Certificate in International Learning. In these reflective papers, I follow along as they relive their exchange abroad or recount memories made during intercultural communication training. I ride their rollercoaster of learning a second language, or witness the “aha” moments that come during the completion of their CIL courses. I get to see what they learned from the program. Inevitably, every year, I read capstones that make me whoop and cheer. Some even make me emotional with pride. I think “this program changes people for the better in ways that are difficult to communicate”. And so, this year, I will not even try to articulate the power of the program. I will let Emily Quinn, a CIL student who graduates with the CIL in November 2021, share her experiences with you. Below is my conversation with her.
