dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this interpretive phenomenological analysis study was to explore the experience of returning home to the United States after completing an international service immersion trip, and the feelings and emotions undergraduate students might experience as a result of international service immersion trips. Additionally, the study explored the experiences of undergraduate students after completing a short term (one week) international service immersion trip to better understand the phenomena related to these experiences and the learning experiences of undergraduate students who participate in international services immersion trips. The ten participants in this study shared powerful and rich stories of their experiences during their time on the ground in Jamaica, as well as after they returned home. Each participant shared overwhelming enthusiasm for the experience in his own way. Additionally, the study explored the experience of returning home to the United States after completing an international service immersion trip, and the feelings and emotions undergraduate students experienced as a result of international service immersion Overall themes that emerged were Exploring Poverty, Exploring Privilege, Global Citizenship, Power of Education, Helping vs. Serving, and Fraternity Connections.
