Kristian Comer

“The bravest thing I ever did was to follow my heart and my dreams. It was scary at first but once I took the leap and committed to them, it took me to the most extraordinary places and I met the most intriguing people. My first study abroad trip to Japan with Ramapo was just the start. I was fortunate enough to study abroad again in China and France. I credit The Roukema Center for International Study for my love of travel and I highly recommend to any student who is considering studying abroad to take the leap as I did.” – Kristian Comer ’20 is a Contemporary Arts major.
