SEMESTER AT SEA*
Cruise ship was
Bennett Belle's
classroom for
four months
SPECIAL TO THE
CHRONICLE
Packing 14 countries
into 15 weeks of learn
ing, the Semester at Sea
Voyage 2012 proved life
altering for Bennett
College senior Ashley
Buchanan.
"I have traveled to
more countries within the
past few months than
some people do in a life
time," she said. "This
program has taught me so
much about . ? ?
myself and has
challenged me
mentally,
physically,
spiritually and
educationally.
I cannot thank
Semester at
Sea enough for
allowing me
this opportuni
ty and for
making the
world my cam
pus."
The first Bennett stu
dent to ever participate in
Semester at Sea,
Buchanan also holds the
College record for visit
ing the most countries
within one semester.
While it's a fairly com
petitive program, the
biggest limitation for
most students is the
$30,000 price tag.
Knowing that her finan
cial aid wouldn't even
cover half of the total
expense, the Bennett
Belle feverishly sought
assistance. Receiving
scholarships, grants and
gifts, Buchanan rfbquired
nearly 97 percent of her
tuition.
*1 thank all of my
donors and the support
from the administration
and staff at Bennett
College. It is only with
their support that this
voyage was made possi
ble for me," Buchanan
said.
An international busi
ness major, Buchanan
feels this experience will
prepare her for a blos
soming future.
"This program has
given me a competitive
advantage against others
in my Held and allowed
me to establish contacts
with individuals from
around the world," she
said. "In addition, I have
been challenged as a per
son and as a leader while
being surrounded by so
many involved and talent
ed students from around
our nation."

the experience
gave her a for
mal introduc
tion to an array
of cultures and
global issues.
While most of v
the countries
were developed
nations, Ghana
introduced her
to a world
where many
inhabitants live
without electric
ity, running water and
shoes. One of her favorite
stops along the way, the
West African nation gave
Buchanan an appreciated
look at her ancestry.
"I was able to visit
sites that I never imag
ined I would see - the
Cape Coast Slave Castle,
the house of W.E.B. Du
Bois and the memorial of
Kwame Nkrumah. Not to
mention, the Ghanaians
are the most welcoming
people I have ever met. I
loved my experience of
going to the motherland,"
she said.
Besides Ghana,
Buchanan, a native of
Long Island, N.Y., also
visited Nova Scotia,
Ireland, England,
Belgium, Portugal,
Spain, Morocco, South
Africa, Argentina,
Uruguay, Brazil, the
Canary Islands and the
Commonwealth of
Dbminica. Prior to the
Semester at Sea Voyage,
she had traveled to South
Korea.
