Tanzania: Ecology & Human Origins

Danae Roumis For me, studying and researching abroad on the ACM Tanzania program provided a realistic frame of reference for learning about the way that public health studies and interventions are carried out. And no matter what it is you’re doing, the most important thing is to understand the message my history teacher had been repeating in the course of my six months abroad: how we think often determines what we think. Studying abroad is all about the how. Since returning from the program, I’ve surrendered to my fond memories of the place that taught me so much, and I’ve channeled them toward my work. My grades are better-my schoolwork is fortified by a command of knowing how to research and analyze. My focus is sharper- I may not know exactly where I will be working in the future, but I know what my passions are, what I stand for, and the causes for which I will be working.

—Danae Roumis, Tanzania, Fall 2006
