"IUHPFL is an investment in the future whose value cannot be overstated. As a direct result of IUHPFL, I have made countless connections and built numerous relationships, both personally and professionally. Time abroad is not only the best way to develop and hone language skills, but also to increase cultural competency in an ever-globalizing world. I am now working in an international career, where my language, travel and cultural skills are used every day, and none of it would be possible without the unique IUHPFL experience. At the time, it seemed a bit scary and overwhelming, but looking back I couldn't imagine my life without it."
