Meet Victoria!

Hello! My name is Victoria Seyoum and I’m a junior in the Politics Department also pursuing a certificate in African Studies. I most recently lived in Brentwood, California, but prior to that I was living in the Middle East and Eastern Africa. The summer of my freshman year I participated in a Global Seminar trip to Italy and Poland and the experience was so amazing that it opened the door to the possibility of spending an entire semester abroad. I decided to study at Cape Town because 1) classes are taught in English and 2) the city is absolutely breathtaking. I’m hoping to expand my knowledge on politics and society in South Africa, and most importantly meet some really cute penguins!

Meet Yooni!

Hi! My name is Yooni Ahn and I am a junior in the Woodrow Wilson School studying education policy. I was born and raised in Seoul, Korea, and came to the States for high school. This spring, I will be studying abroad in Cape Town because of my interest in education policy and love for traveling. After taking a seminar on American education system in the fall, I wanted to learn about how education policies are shaped in a developing world. Along with an added dimension to my studies, I hope to explore and try many things such as going on a walking Safari tour and biking through vineyards!

Meet Miryam!


Miryam is a junior in the History department with a concentration in Latin American studies. You might be thinking, Latin American studies, then why is she in South Africa? Having been born in Bogota, Colombia, and grown up in Miami, she has spent a lot of time throughout Latin America and wanted to explore a new place and culture. What better place than the beautiful University of Cape Town? Miryam looks forward to learning about a new culture, studying South African history through her independent work, experiencing student life at another university, and getting to know other South African and international students while there. She's also really excited for the many adventures in South Africa: shark cage diving, surfing, hiking...who knows what awaits!
