What They're Saying
Semester at Sea truly changed my life. I came back to the U.S. with a whole new perspective on the world, on myself, and on my career path. Semester at Sea is BY FAR the best thing I have ever done in my life.
—Stewart Pollack, Summer 2007
I don't believe that I will understand the great impact that this voyage has had on me any time in the near future, but I already know that I have new perspectives on people, politics, culture, music, religion, and the importance of each individual life.
—Danny Greene, Fall 2004
After SAS, I went on to coordinate an AmeriCorps National Service program helping other students develop a passion for service. Later, my husband and I served in the US Peace Corps in El Salvador for two years. Semester at Sea opened doors for me that I strongly believe a typical 'immersion' experience in a first world country never could have.
—Christy Hudak Bartley, Spring 1998
Most days, I walked around in complete awe of the people on that ship. They absolutely blew me away with their talent, creativity, innovation, and especially their passion for originality, for change, for life itself.
—Bethany Lipman, Spring 2009
