My Romanian Adventure

January 15, 2019

Cedar City, Utah
Anjelica Ashworth, a student from Southern Utah University, completed her EDGE project this
past summer by traveling to Romania for two weeks. She decided to travel with the Psychology
department at SUU. She traveled to cities like Cluj Napoca, Sighisorara, Brasoc, and Gura Humorului. As
Anjelica was in each city, she was able to experience the culture of Romania. Not only did Anjelica
experience the culture, but she gained an appreciation for the food, clothing, and language. This project
was important because not only was she able to learn more about others, but she learned more about
herself. She learned how to accept others for who they are.
Anjelica traveled to Romania with the goal to learn about another culture. This project allowed
Anjelica to experience another’s culture. She was given the opportunity to stay in the homes of locals.
Anjelica was able to travel to various castles to learn about the rich history of Romania. Many of these
castles included Peles Castle and Poenari Castle. Not only was Anjelica able to experience the beauty of
these castles, but she was given the opportunity to stay with residents in Romania. These visits allowed
Anjelica to be fully immersed in their culture. She was able to talk to locals, eat their food, and learn
about their lives.
Anjelica completed her project through the EDGE program at Southern Utah University. The
EDGE program allows students to gain experience in their field of study through projects of their
choosing. This project could be completed as a study abroad, internship, or community service. The
possibilities of a project are endless for each student. The program encourages the students to be
creative and to have fun. These completed projects give students a more hands-on experience that
could relate to their real-life careers.###
