When picturing where she might be after graduation in Spring 26, Ella Clark, @ella_kimberly7, envisioned working in a public relations firm in a big city to promote the next popular thing.

After spending three weeks studying in Prague, Czech Republic, in the summer of 2025, she realized she hadn’t seen enough of the world to know there might be other visions to choose from.

“I grew up in Moscow and hadn’t really left the country before,” said Clark, double-majoring in English and public relations. “In Prague, we had the chance to visit Radio Free Europe, meet their journalists and hear some of their stories. And I had this moment that was kind of profound. I saw how important their work was to them and the difference they were making. That inspired me.”

Clark and 17 U of I classmates took two journalism and mass media classes taught by @uidahoclass Professor Caitlin Cieslik-Miskimen and adjunct instructor Tara Roberts in Prague through U of I’s Education Abroad program or @VandalsAbroad.

She credits traveling abroad through U of I with helping her realize what’s truly important to her.

“You realize there are so many other people, so many other cultures and so many other ways of living,” she said. “You realize that your way is not the only way. I think this experience made me a more intentional, more confident person.”
