Through our partnership with Sam for our Expedition to Morocco, we were able to provide one of the most engaging global experiences for our students. Sam is wildly energetic, very knowledgeable, and made it a priority every day to engage with our students. He is also very organized and careful, keeping good guardrails on all of our experiences while opening up opportunities that we couldn’t have had without his local connections & cultural understanding. We worked together before the Expedition on the itinerary, and he came with lots of great ideas while being open to feedback and our goals. When we said we wanted to engage in a local service project, he not only made it happen but also invited local students so that our students would have the opportunity to connect with them. Some of our students said that it was the highlight of our Expedition.
