About the Episode
LifeBlood NURTURE: We talked about a semester at sea, how the program works, the potential lifelong benefits of participating in it, and how it’s possible to take part even if you’re not an undergraduate student!
We discussed Scott’s childhood experiences, how he got the opportunity to study abroad and the impact that had on his life, how he found his way from being a Professor to leading a study abroad company, and the role perspective plays in his life.
We talked about the potential impacts that an experience seeing different countries and interacting with different people has on a young person, how it’s a unique time to have experiences like this, and the profound impact it can have.
We discussed the comparative nature of the program, how one gets to immerse themself in a new culture, then reflect, talk and learn from peers before getting to go and have a similar experience in a different part of the world, and to get to do this in a lot of different countries.
We talked about how our current world is characterized by divisiveness and having the opportunity to meet and live with people from different cultures has the potential to change that for the better with Scott Marshall, President and CEO of Semester at Sea, a ship-based multi-country study abroad program for gap-year, undergraduate, grad students as well as families. Listen to learn why awe and wonder are waiting for you just outside your door and how to start experiencing them!
