“TBB changed the way that I looked at the world. It changed the way I looked at other people. Most importantly, perhaps, it helped me connect global issues of injustice and understand that these problems were systemic… It opened my eyes and there is truly not a day that goes by where I do not think about the people I worked with and lived with during my time as a TBB student. Keeping them in my head and my heart inspires me to continue to work towards social justice and ignites my passion to be an agent of change each and every day.”

“It’s really difficult for me to imagine my college life without TBB. The experiences I had on my gap year informed all of my choices in college. More than anything, taking a gap year exposed me to new opportunities and made me more confident. I was bold enough to take chances and pursue them."
