Cameron Weller
Seattle Pacific University
Berlin, Germany
Hi all! I am Cameron I am a biochemie (biochemistry) bachelor at SPU, I am starting the ISA program in Berlin to get my language learning credits that are required for my university. The program here with ISA is both faster and cheaper (or at least on par) than three quarters at SPU! So it was a no-brainer to go. Aside from doing biochemistry research and scientific work, I also have many technical hobbies. I fly drones and tinker/design lots of stuff.

Anya Sesay
Harvard University
Valparaiso, Chile
Hey y’all! My name is Anya Sesay, and I wanna tell stories. For this purpose, I often call myself a journalist. But more accurately, I am a woman who has seen words create beauty, and who has used them for this same purpose: to exhume suppressed truths, to paint joy where loneliness had once marked its place, to imagine a world beyond the mundanity to which we’ve grown accustomed. This summer, I’ll be Chile, putting words to all the beauty I’ve breathed in and all of the lessons I will carry with me. Hope you enjoy. <3
