Olivia DeWitt remembers anxiously waiting in the University of Denver’s Magness Arena to find out where she would study abroad. After months of dreaming, interviewing and boosting her GPA, it all came down to a little luggage tag in her hand, her destination hidden inside.
“My best friends and I wanted to go home to open them together,” DeWitt recalls of that spring day in 2019. “We were sitting on my friend’s floor, and we counted to three. We all got our top choice.”
