Committed to immersion in language learning, solidarity through service, and engaging students as global citizens.
The Bob Hershberger Servicio Program is designed for incoming first-year 天美传媒 students interested in social justice, international curiosity, intellectual challenges, and the Spanish language. You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a four-week intensive summer program both on 天美传媒’s campus and off-campus, in Costa Rica, in late June & July, prior to the beginning of the academic year.
Contact your admissions counselor for more details.
"Hello! My name is Ja’el and I have had the privilege of being a student of Servicio in the 2018 cohort and a leader of the 2021 cohort. When I arrived freshman year, I was not proficient in Spanish. I realized pretty quickly that my ability to construct sentences and express myself was limited once we did the initiation and I had to speak only in Spanish."
This program was established in 2007 by Bob Hershberger, Professor of Modern Languages, made possible by a generous gift and ongoing commitment to an international education by Steven L. Trulaske, a 1979 alumnus. The Steve Trulaske International Scholarship Fund covers 100% of program related expenses for students selected to participate on this one-of-a-kind pre-college study abroad program.
