In this episode, host Robin Lee sits down with Renee Tettah, an MTSU Honors student, political science major, and recipient of the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, to share her unforgettable study abroad experience in Senegal.
Renee opens up about what it was like to step into a new, but semi-familiar, culture, study a new language, and build connections that reshaped how she sees the world. From moments of challenge to personal growth, her journey highlights the courage it takes to step outside your comfort zone—and the rewards that come with it.
(Intro music by MTSU Music major Elloise Layus.)
