“I am extremely grateful to USINDO and their on-the-ground partners, especially PCMI, for providing us with an unforgettable summer experience in Indonesia. I feel as though this has been time well-spent – as a young professional seeking a career in Southeast Asian diplomacy, an in-depth language and cultural immersion program is exactly what I needed to test the waters and see how I personally fare in such an accelerated environment. A strong platform in Bahasa Indonesia opens up a range of educational, professional, and social opportunities that I could not otherwise enjoy.”
