Student Experiences

We understand how important it is for current students to hear from previous alumni who participated in global experiences while attending SCU. We've built this section of our website to connect you with former students through a variety of ways, including our podcast: Abroaden Your Horizons, student spotlights, and the Returnee Database. Happy Connecting!
