The Adventure Begins...
I began my educational experience by touring
Oxford and Cambridge. You can read about a place, but
it never really comes alive for you until you walk its
paths, explore its treasures and listen to its whispers.
Once in Bulgaria, my first AUBG activity was the The
Kosovo Project, a program which brought young adult
Kosovar Albanians to AUBG to study leadership, journalism,
public administration, and other topics useful for "rebuilding
human capital" in Kosovo. I assisted with the facilitation
of the Leadership program. I had the privilege to work
with the outstanding student leaders of AUBG and their
leader, Jill Rasmussen, as they provided this incredible
learning experience. I also had the privilege to get
to meeting and become friends with about 40 Kosovar
Albanians who extended to me their most enthusiastic
friendship. At the conclusion of the Leadership section
of the Kosovo Project, I turned my attention to AUBG.
I worked on some projects in a number of offices at
AUBG, doing projects in the offices of Campus Living,the
Career Center, Admissions and Student Services.

understanding proposal is attached.
