At the Parliament, cadets attended a plenary session and learned more about the institutions, political parties and electoral changes coming to Wales in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to their academic and cultural immersion, cadets are volunteering with Aber Food Surplus, a community-led organization that works to reduce food waste and promote food system resilience. Their practical service with Aber Food highlights the Study Abroad program\u2019s broader mission: to prepare future leaders by fostering adaptability, cultural intelligence and civic responsibility in international contexts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/provost-notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/179\/ninja-forms\/2\/Wales-Study-Abroad.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This fall, cadets from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences are participating in a study abroad program in Aberystwyth, Wales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":694,"featured_media":1972,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-november-2025"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.8 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
