I was introduced, by happenstance, to the opportunity to be a “pioneer” for the Madden School of Business during my junior year. Being a pioneer meant temporarily leaving my “Jesuit gem,” packing my bags, booking my flight, and spending four months at another Jesuit institution in Seoul, South Korea— A world oddly similar, yet drastically different from my own. So, I said yes, bid my adieus, and after months of planning and a brief 13-hour flight...

The Johnny Cash Heritage Festival, held in small rural community of Dyess, Ark. where Cash spent much of his boyhood, attracts some of the most ardent followers of the country music icon. The three-day festival features speakers talking about his life and legacy, documentaries, food and arts and craft vendors representing the region, and of course, music by and inspired by Cash.

“Do you ever get homesick?” This is a question that I am asked weekly, by friends, classmates and particularly by those who I have just met. The answer is yes, of course I get homesick. I attend a college that is 10,000 miles away from my hometown. While I go home once or twice a year for breaks, I now live in a country where people speak with funny accents, live by different rules and drive on the wrong side of the road. My name is Tiffany Dun and I am from Melbourne,...
