ITGL Memory: One of my most memorable experiences in the ITGL program at Johns Hopkins was collaborating with a diverse group of peers on educational entrepreneurship projects. We focused on integrating the theories and strategies we learned into global learning environments. My time at ITGL not only deepened my understanding of global education but also helped me form strong connections with fellow students who shared a passion for improving education.

ITGL Memory: I miss student life... the lively atmosphere of learning, being surrounded by classmates eager to explore new ideas. The shared experiences, late-night study sessions, and the excitement of discovering something new made that time so special. It wasn't just about academics, but also the friendships and the sense of possibility that came with each day.
