Hey everyone my name is Gabby Palmowska, and I’m someone who’s always eager to embrace new opportunities and adventures. I was born in Poland – often mislabeled as Eastern Europe, though fun fact it’s actually in Central Europe. Poland is known for its rich culture and, of course, its delicious cuisine, including pierogi, kielbasa, barszcz, and gołąbki.

Hi everyone! My name is Abzal, and I’m a junior at Denison University, studying Global Commerce and Economics. I was born and raised in Kazakhstan and moved to the U.S. for college. Having never been to the States before, I experienced culture shock and discovered so many new things.
As the only student from Kazakhstan at Denison, I didn’t have the typical international student experience where you bond closely with others from your home country.
