"Before applying to Columbia University, I researched the College of Dental Medicine and its global initiatives. I was thrilled to learn that dentistry students are encouraged to expand their experiences by incorporating a global program into their academic studies. My mother is a dentist, and since 2016 we have traveled as a family to Cambodia to participate in initiatives through our church community. I feel encouraged to know there will be an opportunity for me to join the GHE program at some point during my enrollment at Columbia and continue these efforts with my school community. I have a passion for helping others locally and globally. I appreciate that Columbia provides these life-changing experiences for its students through legitimate collaborations and charitable partnerships."
