Celebrating Professor Carmen Hutchinson Miller and the publication of her recent book:
As any ICADS student knows, Carmen Hutchinson Miller is one of our outstanding guest lecturers at Icads.

Making the most out of your time and opportunities
Time will probably fly by when you’re studying abroad.

Celebrando a la profesora Carmen Hutchinson Miller y la publicación de su reciente libro
Como cualquier estudiante de ICADS sabe, Carmen Hutchinson Miller es una de nuestras destacadas profesoras invitadas en Icads. Cada vez que ella nos visita nos plantea el reto de reflexionar, de manera crítica, acerca de los orígenes de la cultura afro en el contexto del reconocimiento de una Costa Rica multiétnica y pluricultural, y en ese ejercicio nos confronta con la cultura “vallecentralista” que en general e incluso de forma xenofóbica, hemos asumido los costarricenses. Este año ella publico un libro nuevo contemplando el mes de la afrodecendencia en Costa Rica con un enfoque en Marcus Garvey. Como ya saben el Día de la Persona Negra y la Cultura Afrocostarricense se celebra en 31 de agosto.

Why Making Mistakes was the Best Decision I Made
¡Hola! It’s Esther again, here to share more about my experience studying abroad in Costa Rica. As a part of my short six-week summer program, I took two courses: Intensive Spanish and Sociology of Health and Health Care in Costa Rica. I also had the opportunity to intern at one of the many public primary care clinics where I shadowed a general practitioner who serves a patient population of 14,000 and sees an average of 32 patients a day.

Alumni
A few weeks ago, ICADS received an email from an alumnus from 1993, which was only a few years into the existence of the program. Hearing a little about this once student’s experience and how ICADS changed the trajectory of their life rang familiar to us here, and we hope to celebrate that legacy and the mission that enables it.
