Abstract	This exploratory study investigated the experiences of seven bilingual school psychology graduate students' participation in a two-week cultural immersion experience at the Texas-Mexico border. Findings revealed five significant themes related to their experience: (1) pushed out of comfort zone, (2) bonding with peers, (3) language, culture, and identity, (4) awareness of unique challenges, and (5) changes needed in the immersion program. Implications for school psychology programs and future research directions are discussed. (As Provided).
