Mallan Gill of Pierce County was one of three University of North Georgia (UNG) students who studied in London this summer through the University System of Georgia (USG) Goes Global program. USG Goes Global partners with USG institutions to provide quality, affordable and impactful faculty-led study abroad programs for undergraduate students.
Gill was joined by Charlotte Carswell and T.J. Hageli on the trip. All three say they are grateful for the opportunities the program presented them.
Gill, a senior from Blackshear, is pursuing a degree in English with a writing and publication concentration from UNG in Dahlonega. She earned a Phi Kappa Phi study abroad scholarship that helped fund her time abroad. Her dream job is to be a book editor.
“UNG helped me learn what good writing looks like and how I can help other authors,” Gill said.
The chance to learn and make connections in London only boosted how prepared Gill feels for her career.
“The study abroad programs offered at UNG, like USG Goes Global, are one of the many strengths of the university. Not only do these experiences provide students with academic credit and a chance to see the world, but the impact they have on students’ career readiness and post-graduation opportunities is tangible and profound,” Hannah Chisolm, assistant director of education abroad in the Center for Global Engagement (CGE), said.
