Verano en México: A Summer of Learning, Service, and Cultural Connection
This summer, University of Arizona students spent five unforgettable weeks immersed in language, culture, and service through the College of Education's Verano en México program. From studying in Guanajuato and visiting schools to volunteering at Resplandor International, founded by College of Education Professor Todd Fletcher, students gained firsthand experience in global education while building meaningful connections with local communities.
