From Freshman to Fearless: Grace White's Scottish Adventure

Just say yes to opportunities. 

Grace White, a rising sophomore public relations major at Texas State University, shares her transformative experiences about her three-week study abroad program in Scotland.  Grace was a student in my Intro to Public Relations class at Queen Margaret University.  We sat down in the library on campus and I recorded our conversation on my iPhone.  We talked about how a classroom presentation evolved into a life-changing journey.
