"I have taught many courses at UGA. My most cherished experiences with students have been in engineering design project courses involving global service-learning and the companion summer research programs overseas with students that I developed. I get to know the students I travel with very well, and they get to know me very well. Watching in real-time and being part of these transformational experiences with the students is priceless."

"I can do research for any class now because of the tools I learned in this class," said Melissa Manson, a second-year theatre and broadcast journalism major. "I text my mom every week and I'll say something like, 'Mom I'm holding a Bible from the 1500s. I'll go to other museums now, and I'll look at what they have on display and I'll think, 'Oh, I've handled older things than this.'I'm handling actual bits of history. And that's something I can't get from any other class here."
