I was invited by the Admissions office to attend Korbel's Discover Korbel - Admitted Student Day in the Spring. When I decided to come to Korbel, I wanted to expand my knowledge on international affairs and better opportunities for my career. I left Korbel with lifelong connections, strengthened skills as a leader and decision maker, and ready to enter into a dynamic, 21st century workforce.

Korbel provided me with a wealth of experiences (academically, professionally, and personally) and will always be the cornerstone of my college experience.
