The Hubbard Center Off-Campus study program allowed me to travel to Costa Rica as an incoming first-year student as part of the Bob Hershberger Servicio Program. The Steve Trulaske (1979 alumnus) International Scholarship Fund covered 100% of the program expenses which enabled me to have this amazing global experience." - Alex '22
