Institutions of higher education have continuously struggled to find ways to keep young adults engaged. In order to do so, they have introduced a number of techniques and programs into the curriculum, but these programs do not necessarily translate to transformational learning for students.

Additionally, her experience exemplifies possible avenues for higher education institutions to provide more individualized experiences that allow for student interest and voice to be infused into study abroad service-learning programs.
