In the early 2000s, South Dakota State University used the tagline “You can go anywhere from here” in a number of ads to feature students and alumni who used SDSU as a launching pad to a variety of study abroad locations and high-profile careers. One of the featured students was Ryan Lefers, a farm kid from Corsica studying agricultural engineering, who had participated in a study abroad program in Egypt. The North African country would be just the start of Lefers’ Middle Eastern adventures.
