Yeyya Wane, a fourth-year student double majoring in broadcast journalism and political science, traveled to Almaty, Kazakhstan, as part of the COMM 402: International Reporting course in the Bellisario College of Communications. She is pictured here with Steve Kraycik, associate teaching professor of journalism and director of student television, who participated in the trip. Students gained hands-on experience in reporting, through anchoring, filming and talking to local experts. They learned about kokpar, one of the oldest nomadic games; interviewed sources about Uighur culture in Almaty; and investigated geopolitical forces shaping politics in Kazakhstan and the region. "Being an international reporter is my dream job," said Wane. "This experience taught me how to report on stories with cultural sensitivity." The trip to Kazakhstan was one of three experiential learning opportunities offered as part of embedded courses in the Bellisario College of Communications this spring.
