Student Profile

Kori Shearstone, Ryerson University
Studied abroad at the University of South Australia

"In Australia I studied at the University of South Australia and what I found most interesting academically was the insight to Australian culture that was offered. Now I have an international perspective on my major's industry. This is essential in a world that is becoming so closely connected via technology."
