Abstract

This session will discuss and explore the benefits of studying abroad - with attention paid to both faculty and student participation. Panelists share destinations, how they amassed the number of students needed to make the trip, their field experiences, and the model their universities use to offer financial support for faculty and students. There is a saying, “If you build it, they will come.” Don’t wait for the international community to come to American students, send American students to their communities.
