FORDHAM PREP 2022 ANNUAL GIVING REPORT
GAINING A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
A SPOTLIGHT ON FORDHAM PREP ’ S GLOBAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
Wyatt Shablak ’ 22 had never been outside of the United States before coming to Fordham Prep . During his freshman year , the Global Education program ’ s trip to Thailand in 2019 piqued his interest because of the focus on ecology .
“ I was always looking at the ecology trips to tropical places , and that ’ s why I went to Thailand freshman year to work with elephants ,” he noted . “ In my sophomore year , I wanted to go to Costa Rica for sea turtle conservation . I was accepted and ready to go on the trip , but it got canceled due to COVID ,” he said . Shablak also traveled to the Galapagos Islands during spring break in April 2022 with 25 other Fordham Prep students .
