Welcome!

Follow this winter 2019’s Office of Study Abroad & International Experiences Global Correspondent, Corrina Quaglietta, on her international experiential studies in Havana, Cuba!

Corrina is a UMass Lowell Nursing major with a Public Health minor studying this winter on a UMass Lowell Honors College Faculty-led Program, Cuban Cultural Immersion, in Havana, Cuba.

This traveling seminar will use the Cuban experience as a backdrop for experiential learning, along with discussions with professionals in that particular field of study, and writing assignments designed to allow students to reflect upon their experience studying and living in Cuba. Students will gain a multi-disciplinary overview of Cuban contemporary culture and further understanding from a cultural, socio-political and historical context.

Please feel free to read blogs from previous trips to Cuba listed below or from other destinations across the globe UMass Lowell students travel to.
