Alumni TIES Cleveland provided an outstanding opportunity to connect with U.S. exchange alumni who share a passion for addressing substance use prevention, intervention, and recovery in their communities. The relatively small size of the group combined with the participant-driven structure and a duration of several full days enabled us to forge personal and professional connections with each attendee. Because of this, I feel confident that I will continue my personal and professional relationships with fellow Alumni TIES attendees long beyond the duration of the seminar.

I learned many things from the experiences of my fellow exchange alumni. I [had] never met Central Asian women before and it was wonderful to meet them and learn about their cultures and countries.
