Xin Chaฬ€o! My name is Cindy Nguyen, and I will be studying abroad this Spring 2019 semester through the SIT Vietnam: Culture, Social Change, and Development program.

I am so excited to use this journal to document my transformative experiences and growth abroad. Click the video below to hear some of my thoughts before departing for Vietnam.

Lastly, I am incredibly honored to have been selected as a Fund for Education Abroad Scholar; without this organization and their work, I could not have this life-changing opportunity. Thank you to the Fund for Education Abroad for all its support! Catch ya’ in Vietnam!
