Sarah Sloan: What Study Abroad Taught Me #HogsAbroad in Ghana

Major: African and African American Studies and History

My study abroad experience in Ghana taught me that learning outside the classroom is just as important as learning inside it.

The opportunity to see the places first hand that I had studied helped me to connect to the experiences of the people it touched.

Studying history is more than just reading about places and events, it is understanding why things happened and who they happened to.
