Cali Carper in Amsterdam

Hi there! I’m Cali Carper, a small-town Wisconsin girl who enjoys her book collection, dance, fashion, thrifting, knitting, and thinking critically. Currently, I’m a fifth-year student at Penn State studying Criminology and Comparative Literature with minors in Korean, Asian Studies, Sociology, Global Studies, and English. When I was a first-year student, I spent a summer abroad at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. In my last year, I’ll be traversing Europe for a semester during my study abroad trip to Amsterdam, where I’ll participate in the Law & Criminology program at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam!

Favorite thing about going abroad?
I plan to use my time exploring professional opportunities by networking with international non-profit organizations and humanitarian aid groups, which I hope to raise awareness for through interviews for my own blog. I hope to enhance my knowledge of criminology and more through advocacy work, such as volunteering with a local non-profit. Because the Netherlands is truly foreign to me, I am thrilled to enrich my global citizenship by immersing myself in the social and cultural life of the Dutch. I have recently been fascinated with photography, so I am learning ways I can maintain new hobbies while abroad to show off my creativity!
