Global Student Profile

Belinda Velez. International Affairs Major, Global Pathways Certificate, International Development. BelindaDuring the Fall semester of 2009, Belinda Velez, studied abroad in Amsterdam, The Netherlands under one of FSU’s international exchange agreements with The University of Amsterdam. While taking classes under the preparatory program of International Development Studies she gained more insight on urban planning and environmental sustainability. Her experiences as an international student allowed her to discover not only Dutch culture but other cultures as well. “Living away from home for such an extended period of time gave me such a fresh perspective on global issues especially when I spoke to other international students who came from a broad range of places like Brazil, Poland, and Singapore.”
