Welcome to Our Blog

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG

As anyone who has participated in UConn's Education Abroad in Cape Town will tell you, there are no words to adequately explain the depth of the experiences, no narratives to sufficiently describe the hospitality of the people, and no pictures to begin to capture the exquisite scenery. Therefore this blog is only intended to provide an unfolding story of the those co-educators who are traveling together as companions on this amazing journey.

As Resident Director of this program since 2008 it is once again my privilege and honor to accompany another group of remarkable students to this place I have come to know and love.

In peace, with hope,
Marita McComiskey, PhD

Maria a bit scared but ready for her next adventure


From the pre departure class, I learned a lot. each week, I had to try to keep up with current events to understand discussions in class. I downloaded the NY Times app on my phone and was upset to see how often bad things were occurring. I’ve always avoided the news because of how upset it makes me. however I've come to realize denying the bad doesn't stop things from occurring. I also realized despite how excited I was to finally study abroad, how scared I was. however I think after spending this time home, I'm ready for my next adventure!
