Hello! I'm Eloan '27 from Belgium, and this summer I was nominated by UWC-USA to participate in the Student Diplomacy Corps in Alaska. During the program, I took a pre-university course focused on marine biology, oceanography, and ecology.
Throughout the experience, I learned about a wide range of topics, from glacier succession and sustainable energy, to the Tlingit culture and the Indigenous people of Southeast Alaska.
We also did incredible outdoor activities, including hiking in bear country, kayaking alongside sea lions, rafting, and observing whales and orcas in the wild.
This adventure was truly unforgettable. It gave me so many memories and invaluable knowledge that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
