    Braeden Scheifele

    Study Abroad Student

    “I was nervous to go at first, but I’m so glad I did. This was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in my life. You’re only in college for so long, so you should take advantage of the opportunities available.”


    Braeden spent three weeks in Japan as part of the CLC study abroad program. A scholarship helped pay for the experience.
