Student Introductions (Kori and Shelby)

Next up we will let Kori and Shelby introduce themselves and give thanks to the people and organizations who helped make their study abroad experience possible.

Dumela! My name is Kori Mascheck and I am an International Relations and Global studies major with a focus on science, technology and the environment and a minor in African Studies. I am excited to be in Botswana and learn more about the technical side of environmental research. I would like to thank the College of Liberal Arts, my mom, my dad and Jan, Andy and my wonderful grandparents. As they say here in Setswana, Ke itumetse! Ke a go rata thata!

Hi everyone! My name is Shelby Acosta. I’m a fourth year Geography major and Spanish minor in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas. I chose to study abroad in Ghanzi to become more experienced in field work and to learn about a country and culture that I have never been exposed to. This is one of the most unique study abroad experiences offered by UT and I’m so privileged to be able to a part of it. I would like to thank the College of Liberal Arts, the University of Texas at Austin, and my family for making this trip possible for me.
