I can honestly say I am the happiest I have ever been. I (didn&#8217;t) want my time here in Ghana to end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There are 15 potential spots available for the program, and candidates can apply directly out of high school or can be an upper year student.<\/p>\n<p>The presentations will begin at 12 p.m. in Plaza 409.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:studyabroad@brocku.ca\">Email <\/a>for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Participants in Brock University&#8217;s Global Transitions program will share their worldly experiences during a presentation Thursday, Feb. 6. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26156,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[1579,1580,788,206],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26155"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26155"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26155\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26168,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26155\/revisions\/26168"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
