read our experiences.
From their two-week observations written to express life in San Francisco to their reflections both pre and post-immersion, student programmers noted their experience throughout the entire journey. Each student’s reflective, personable, and immersive narrative highlights the experience of traveling to San Francisco, exploring the Castro District, and learning about themselves and their identity. These blogs express how being in a larger, brighter, queer community helped students shape and re-shape who they are.
