This interesting read talks about students attending Arcadia partner schools University of Texas at Austin and Spelman College. You can read more about Spelman’s Model for Enhancing Global Research in the STEM disciplines in the latest issue of IMPACT magazine. Previously, we conducted an interview of Spelman students who participated in Arcadia’s London and Granada based STEM programs to see what their thoughts on the programs were. The interview is available on our YouTube Channel.
